Wedoany.com Report-Sept. 8, On September 5, Chinese urban air mobility company EHang announced it had signed a strategic partnership with China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC). The agreement focuses on the promotion, sales, and application of EHang’s autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs), aiming to accelerate the development of the global low-altitude economy.

As part of this collaboration, EHang and CRBC jointly participated in the Aviation Africa Summit & Exhibition, which took place on September 4–5 in Kigali, Rwanda. At the event, EHang conducted the first passenger-carrying pilotless eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) flight of its EH216-S in Africa. This demonstration expanded EHang’s international flight record to 21 countries, underscoring the company’s progress in advancing urban air mobility solutions.

CRBC, with extensive experience in the international contracting market, currently operates in more than 70 countries and regions. The corporation provides a wide range of infrastructure resources and has established a strong global promotion and marketing network. According to the agency agreement, CRBC will assist in the overseas sales and marketing of EHang’s AAV products.

Through the partnership, both companies intend to combine CRBC’s international business presence with EHang’s technical capabilities in urban air mobility. Their joint efforts will include promoting the establishment of international certification standards, exploring new application scenarios, and supporting the commercialization of eVTOL technologies across global markets.

EHang’s participation in the Rwanda summit not only highlighted the capabilities of the EH216-S but also marked a significant milestone for the company’s international outreach. The pilotless passenger flight in Africa demonstrated the potential of autonomous aerial solutions to address urban mobility needs in diverse environments.

By working together, EHang and CRBC seek to strengthen the global reach of AAV products while contributing to the sustainable growth of the low-altitude economy. The collaboration illustrates how the integration of advanced mobility technologies with established infrastructure expertise can support the future of transportation worldwide.
