EHang Expands AAM Program to Vietnam

HANOI, Vietnam, Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- EHang Holdings Limited, the world’s leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technology platform company, today announced the expansion of its Global Fast Track Program to Vietnam, its second country following Sri Lanka. The move marks EHang’s first city-level partnership in Vietnam, with Hanoi as the first stop. HungViet Technology and Investment Trading JSC, EHang’s partner in Vietnam, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology (Hanoi DOST) in Hanoi.

Under the MOU, the Hanoi DOST will provide guidance for the application and approval of the sandbox testing, while HungViet, as the local implementing entity, will commit technical, financial, and human resources starting from October 2026. HungViet will prepare the sandbox application materials and carry out controlled test flights upon receipt of the authorization decision. EHang will provide the EH216-S aircraft and its technological systems in support of the sandbox testing.

The EH216-S pilotless human-carrying aircraft, operational technology systems, and personnel training support involved in the sandbox testing will be provided by EHang. The parties will conduct low-altitude economy sandbox testing centered on the EH216-S at Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park, which will include controlled test flights of the EH216-S, building an unmanned aircraft traffic management (UTM) model and an operations control center (OCC) model, as well as advancing operational technology training, the joint development of technical standards and regulations, and technical exchanges. The sandbox testing will proceed upon completion of the relevant application and approval procedures.

Under the cooperation plan, the parties will start with regulatory sandbox testing and carry out phased technical verification of the human-carrying and cargo-carrying variants of the EH216-series pilotless eVTOL aircraft in line with Vietnam's local regulatory rules, real-world operating environments, and business implementation conditions. Steadily advancing commercial-operation-related work, EHang plans to further expand its business to key Vietnamese cities including Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, and to realize diversified commercial-use scenarios centered around urban commuting and the development of popular tourist destinations.

EHang’s Global Fast Track Program, which has now expanded to two countries, underscores the company’s commitment to accelerating the commercial deployment of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technologies. The company’s expansion into Southeast Asia, with the signing of the MOU in Hanoi, marks a significant step forward for the program in the region. The signing of the MOU also represents a key advance for EHang’s Global Fast Track Program in Southeast Asia, as the cultural-tourism market in Vietnam is experiencing strong growth momentum, with the country receiving nearly 21.2 million international inbound tourists in 2025, hitting an all-time high.

EHang’s Global Fast Track Program is designed for the regulatory frameworks and market characteristics of individual countries and regions. Through sandbox testing, operational validation, and collaboration with local partners, EHang connects technology, commercial operations, and regulation to accelerate commercial roll-out. The company’s long-range VT35 model further extends inter-city mobility scenarios, laying the foundation for a multi-tiered low-altitude mobility network. Leveraging its advanced autonomous flight technology and scalable operational infrastructure, EHang is redefining the transportation of people and goods, transcending cities, regions, and natural barriers to usher in a new era of air mobility.
