EHang Supports Chinese National Transportation Network Plan
26 February 2021 - 11:59PM
On February 24, 2021, China’s State Council issued guidelines for
the development of a comprehensive transportation network by 2035.
Entitled “Guidelines of the National Comprehensive Transportation
Network Plan” (the “Guidelines”), this important national strategic
initiative advocates for the development of a modern, high-quality
and intelligent transportation network. In particular, it calls for
further research and development of intelligent transport
equipment, and the promotion of intelligent network-connected
vehicles (such as in the areas of intelligent cars, autonomous
driving and vehicle-road coordination). Furthermore, the Guidelines
propose the idea of “intelligent general aviation vehicle
applications”, noting the need to “develop urban helicopter
transport services and build rapid air traffic networks among urban
clusters.” The Guidelines also declare the intention to “develop a
new generation of air traffic control systems to promote air
mobility services”, such as intelligent air traffic management and
airspace management, while promoting data sharing.
As a leader in the global urban air mobility
(“UAM”) industry and the only company authorized by the Civil
Aviation Administration of China to conduct trial work for
developing passenger-grade Autonomous Aerial Vehicles’ (“AAV”)
airworthiness standards and certification methods, EHang Holdings
Limited (Nasdaq: EH) (“EHang” or the “Company”) will seize this
opportunity to strengthen its technological leadership and
accelerate commercialization of its passage-grade AAVs as a typical
type of “intelligent general aviation vehicles” promoted by the
Guidelines. The Company will expand its self-developed
command-and-control system (which centrally controls and dispatches
urban air traffic) for more air mobility services, and contribute
to the development of UAM systems in Chinese cities. EHang aims to
support building a high-quality comprehensive transportation
network in China that is convenient, efficient, green, intelligent,
advanced, safe and reliable.
