GUANGZHOU, China, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the world’s leading advanced air mobility (“AAM”) technology platform company, announced that it has been selected, together with its partners Kwoon Chung Smart Mobility Co.,Ltd and Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, as one of the first batch of trial projects under Hong Kong’s “Low-Altitude Economy (“LAE”) Regulatory Sandbox X” initiative for unconventional aircraft applications. All parties will leverage their respective resource advantages to steadily advance compliant demonstration flights, scenario validation and a series of coordinated efforts, contributing to the high‑quality growth of Hong Kong’s low‑altitude economy.
As Hong Kong actively rolls out multiple rounds of regulatory sandbox trial projects, the low-altitude economy is quickly becoming a key driver for local innovation. As a global leader in AAM, EHang has established a solid foundation of collaboration with its Hong Kong partners, continuously advancing the application of pilotless electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in the region.
As the world’s first company to obtain the type certificate, production certificate, and standard airworthiness certificate for a pilotless human-carrying eVTOL in China, EHang has remained committed to advancing practical applications for the low-altitude economy. As of May 2026, EHang’s flagship product, the EH216-S pilotless human-carrying eVTOL has completed more than 90,000 safe flights and has been operating routine commercial trial services in Guangzhou and Hefei. These efforts are generating replicable and scalable practical experience for the industry’s transition to commercial operations.
Hong Kong is a key gateway connecting with the Greater Bay Area and global markets, and an ideal testing ground for low-altitude economy innovation and development. EHang will deepen the collaboration with its Hong Kong partners to explore advanced air mobility applications, support Hong Kong’s low-altitude economy innovation, and contribute to the development of low-altitude economy ecosystem across the Greater Bay Area.
