EHang Announces 1st EH216-F Firefighting eVTOL Aircraft Rolled Off from Assembly Line at Low-Altitude Emergency Rescue Equipment Headquarters in Beijing

EHang Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: EH) (“EHang” or “the Company”), the world’s leading Advanced Air Mobility (“AAM”) technology platform company, announced that the first EH216-F electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) firefighting aircraft has been rolled off from the assembly line at EHang’s Low-Altitude Emergency Rescue Equipment Headquarters (“the Headquarters”) in Fangshan District, Beijing. Marking the first anniversary of the Company’s strategic cooperation with the local government, this milestone marks a solid beginning for the Company's manufacturing in the low-altitude emergency rescue sector through a benchmark project of government-enterprise collaboration and the integration of industrial production with R&D.

The rollout ceremony took place this afternoon of at the Headquarters in Fangshan District, Beijing. Leaders including Zhixin Di, Deputy Secretary of the Fangshan District Committee and District Mayor, as well as Wujun Gao, Deputy District Mayor, attended the event. Accompanied by Zhao Wang, Chief Operating Officer of EHang, and other senior executives, the guests toured the EH216-F firefighting eVTOL assembly line.

The rollout ceremony took place this afternoon at the Headquarters in Fangshan District, Beijing. Attendees included leaders from the Beijing Fangshan District Government and Kun Guo, Chairman of Beijing Xinzhi Airport Management Co., Ltd and so on. Accompanied by Zhao Wang, Chief Operating Officer of EHang, and other senior executives, the guests toured the EH216-F firefighting eVTOL assembly line.

Since December 2024, EHang and Fangshan District Government have implemented a strategic partnership centered on “one headquarters, multiple scenarios, full-industry coverage” to build the Low-Altitude Emergency Rescue Equipment Headquarters. Supported by Fangshan’s “Six Ones” industrial framework—comprising a target industry, a dedicated coordination team, an affiliated university, an industry fund, a startup incubator, and a specialized industrial park—the project has progressed efficiently. The initial phase of factory construction has been completed, and the site will continue to be developed into a comprehensive base integrating R&D, testing, assembly, maintenance, and training, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of China’s low-altitude emergency rescue sector.

China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) has reinforced the low-altitude economy as a strategic emerging industry cluster, with ongoing policies promoting industrial innovation. The General Aviation Equipment Innovation and Application Implementation Plan (2024–2030) also targets the commercial deployment of unmanned, electric, and intelligent general aviation equipment in emergency rescue and other fields by 2027. Leveraging Beijing’s strategic position, EHang intends to build a national benchmark project at the Headquarters in Fangshan, advancing modern emergency rescue management and high-quality development of the low-altitude economy during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

Fangshan District will continue to deepen its leading cooperation with key industry players such as EHang, with a focus on key areas including aircraft manufacturing and aviation batteries, while promoting technology and resource integration across the entire value chain. Leveraging the advantages of our industrial park, Fangshan will actively participate in the coordinated low-altitude emergency rescue development across the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, facilitate cross-regional aerial connectivity, and build a service support platform for industrial chain upgrading

Zhao Wang, Chief Operating Officer of EHang, added: “Low-altitude emergency rescue sector is not only a vital component of the low-altitude economy, but also a key direction for developing aerial rescue capabilities and advancing integrated social security systems. It represents a strategic fulcrum for fostering and strengthening new quality productive forces. Since partnering with the Fangshan District Government, both sides have been committed to building a new ecosystem for the low-altitude emergency rescue sector, aiming to establish a national benchmark project for early-stage deployment and trials, featuring comprehensive and scalable capabilities. The successful assembly of the first EH216-F at the Headquarters in Fangshan signifies a positive beginning for low-altitude firefighting equipment manufacturing in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, laying the groundwork for the subsequent development of the low-altitude emergency rescue industry. Moving forward, we will continue advancing innovation in pilotless eVTOL technologies, working closely with Fangshan District Government and industry partners to further strengthen the low-altitude emergency rescue ecosystem. Through these efforts, we aim to deliver safer, smarter, more efficient, and greener low-altitude solutions for the modernization of China’s emergency rescue systems during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.”
