EHang Holdings Limited has formed a long-term strategic partnership and technology development cooperation with Zhuhai Enpower Electric Co., Ltd. to co-develop high-performance electric motors and motor controllers. 

The companies will are developing this technology for EHang’s suite of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. 

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 using EHang’s experience as an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technology platform company, and Enpower’s expertise in new energy vehicle (NEV) power systems. 

Mr. Guibin Jiang, Chairman of Enpower, said, “Enpower is thrilled to join forces with EHang, a true pioneer in the eVTOL sector. 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, added, “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.”
