EHang Holdings has announced the suggested retail price for its EH216-S passenger-carrying unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) system in China.
The EH216-S UAV system’s official suggested retail price in China is set at RMB2.39 million (USD340,000) per unit, effective from April 1, 2024. The company believes the pricing will more effectively cater to the market needs and further enhance the value of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (“eVTOL”) and UAM.
“On October 13, 2023, EHang’s self-developed EH216-S passenger-carrying UAV system received its Type Certificate (“TC”) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”)” according to the press release. “Following this, on December 21, it achieved the Standard Airworthiness Certificate (“AC”), leading to the delivery to the first set of customers. On December 28, the certified EH216-S successfully completed its inaugural commercial flight demonstrations in Guangzhou and Hefei. As the world’s first pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft system to obtain a standard airworthiness certificate, EH216-S has been highly recognised by the CAAC and its partners for its innovation, revolutionary nature, leadership, safety, and applicability. The certified EH216-S passenger-carrying UAVs that have been delivered to customers will be utilized to provide commercial services in various scenarios such as low-altitude sightseeing and urban tourism, and their presence will continue to expand the deployment and implementation in different operational scenarios.”
