Changan Automobile and EHang Intelligent signed a flying car cooperation agreement on December 21, 2024. This move signals the possibility of "flying" travel in the future. As urbanization accelerates, land traffic congestion is becoming more and more serious. Flying cars, as a new type of travel, have great market potential. At the same time, the support and guidance of national policies provide ample space for the development of flying cars.
As a leading company in China's automobile industry, Changan Automobile has deep accumulation in automobile manufacturing technology. Its participation in the field of flying cars reflects its deep foresight and forward-looking plan for the future travel ecology. As a leading enterprise of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, EHang Intelligent has rich experience and expertise in aircraft R&D and design, especially in key areas such as electric vertical take-off and landing technology and flight control systems.
The two sides will leverage the advantages of relevant professional fields, mutual assistance, cooperation and resource sharing to jointly develop core technologies such as flying cars, explore and research futuristic and technological products, and plan to launch the next-generation flying car products by 2026. In addition, the two sides will also put forward the application scenarios of flying cars, promote the commercialization process, expand the market scope and popularity of products, and promote the integrated development of the automobile industry and the low-altitude economy.
In the future, flying cars are expected to provide people with more flexible and efficient travel options, effectively relieve traffic congestion on land, improve urban travel efficiency, and open up a new era of three-dimensional travel. The development of the flying car industry will also promote the coordinated development of relevant industrial chains, bring new impetus to economic growth, and bring new opportunities to urban development. In addition to helping the advancement and commercialization of flying car technology, this cooperation will also provide new opportunities for the transformation of urban transportation methods in the future.
