Guangzhou is emerging as the premier testing ground for the commercialization of the low-altitude economy, with the "big three" pioneers showcasing their unique strengths.
EHang, which established its presence in Guangzhou in 2014, is deeply integrating technological innovation with industrial development. The company currently holds the world's largest patent portfolio in the eVTOL sector. Its flagship model, the EH216-S, is the world's first eVTOL aircraft to obtain all four key airworthiness certifications, maintaining an impeccable safety record with zero accidents or violations to date.
XPeng Aeroht operates the world's first modern mass production facility for flying cars. At full capacity, the production line can roll out one flying vehicle every 30 minutes, achieving remarkable efficiency.
GAC has developed China's first high-performance composite-wing flying car, with a maximum flight speed of 250 kilometers per hour, enabling cross-city travel within the Greater Bay Area in just 40 minutes.
The technological breakthroughs achieved by these three companies underscore Guangzhou's formidable strength in the low-altitude economy sector, contributing a distinctive "Guangzhou model" to the development of the global low-altitude economy.
