EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the
world’s leading Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) technology platform
company, today announced a long-term strategic partnership and
technology development cooperation with Zhuhai Enpower Electric
Co., Ltd. (“Enpower”, SZ300681), a pioneer in new energy vehicle

The collaboration will focus on creating
customized electric motor drive systems that meet the unique
specifications of EHang’s diverse eVTOL products and the rigorous
airworthiness requirements of civil aviation authorities. Enpower’s
state-of-the-art “integrated core” technology will be instrumental
in refining the motor solutions of EHang eVTOLs, targeting an
integrated design of electric motors and motor controllers with
lighter weight, higher power density, superior cooling performance,
and broader compatibility across EHang’s eVTOL models. This
strategic move is set to elevate the performance and reliability of
EHang’s eVTOL fleet, addressing the industry’s evolving needs.
“Enpower is thrilled to join forces with EHang,
a true pioneer in the eVTOL sector,” said Mr. Guibin Jiang,
Chairman of Enpower. “By combining our nearly two decades of
expertise in electric power systems with EHang’s leadership in
intelligent eVTOL, we are poised to innovate and industrialize
top-tier motor solutions, propelling the UAM industry to new
heights.”
Mr. Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, commented, “At EHang, we are committed to
realizing urban air mobility. This strategic partnership with
Enpower not only validates our vision but also provides the
necessary impetus for our goals. Together, we will redefine the
future of transportation, making it safer, more efficient, and
environmentally friendly. We look forward to the collaboration with
more partners from upstream and downstream in the UAM sector and
the achievements that lie ahead.”
