Recently, EHang's two-seater AAV EH216, with the cooperation and support of MASC after its flight debut in June this year, Fukushima and Okayama, Japan. We made a series of demo flights. We also considered the application and practice of AAV solutions in use cases such as cross-island travel, emergency rescue, and aeronautical logistics.
With many guests and media testimony, the EH216 has successfully completed a flight demonstration of an emergency rescue scenario in extreme weather events with strong winds of up to 27.5 m / s at the Fukushima Robot Test Field (RTF). In 2019, the Public-Private Council for Japan's Air Transport Revolution has positioned Fukushima RTF as a permanent test flight site to achieve commercial applications for eVTOL in 2023.
EHang Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: EH) ("EHang" or "Company") is the world leader in autonomous aircraft ("AAV") technology platforms and today AirX Inc. Japan's leading air mobility digital platform company (“AirX”) has placed 50 pre-orders for EH216AAV, the largest pre-order received by EHang in Japan.
This reflects the growing industry awareness of EHang's state-of-the-art autonomous aircraft. The EH216 AAV pre-order aims to promote various urban air mobility ("UAM") projects in Japan and provide "air taxi" services to the 2025 Japan International Exposition in Kansai, Japan. is. As a leading provider of helicopter service platforms in Japan, AirX has developed and operates a booking platform for over 100 helicopter tourism routes and private helicopter charters.
Each year, the AirX platform can book over 2,000 helicopter sightseeing flights and over 200 charter flights across Japan. Since its inception, AirX has served more than 15,000 chartered passengers. Tezuka Kiwamu, Founder and CEO of AirX, said: That's why AirX chose EHang as a partner in the global eVTOL market. Huazhi Hu, Founder, Chairman and CEO of EHang, said: "The partnership with AirX is an important milestone in advancing the UAM market. Continue research and development in Japan. EHang's safe, autonomous and sustainable urban air mobility solution for the general public.”

Is beyond the control of management.
These statements include risks and uncertainties that EHang's actual results, performance, or outcomes may differ materially from the future outcomes, performances, or outcomes expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Gender is included. As a newly launched deployment site specially designed and developed for the EHang AAV, the 5G Intelligent Air Mobility Experience Center covers an area of 2,000 square meters and features a rooftop takeoff and landing vertical port and a charging hangar.
Maintenance is installed. Equipped with a 5G telecom network, it relies on EHang's command and control system platform to enable test runs of EH216, Falcon B, and other eVTOL models for a variety of UAM and smart city management applications. In addition, the 5G Intelligent Air Mobility Experience Center is integrated with a parking lot for automated guided vehicles, providing a convenient infrastructure for future car and air travel seamless travel experiences.
EHang and GDDCI have established this joint venture with the 5G Intelligent Air Mobility Experience Center to build local UAM route planning and AAV operations. UAM mapping across four major areas of Guangzhou's Huangpu District has planned and tested several operational routes for human transport, aerial tourism, aeronautical logistics, intelligent city management and more.
Guangzhou is EHang's first global urban flight mobility pilot city, and the 5G Intelligent Air Mobility Experience Center is the latest deployment site under the 100 Air Mobility Route Initiative. They use world-leading AAV technology and Command and Control systems to provide intelligent and comprehensive urban air mobility and intelligent urban management solutions in Guangzhou. They plan to develop Guangzhou into a model city for unaccompanied minors and expand it to other cities across the country and around the world.
So how was it, smart people? Do you think the development of EHANG would be great if it was applied in Indonesia?
