EHang Holdings Limited, the world’s leading urban air mobility (UAM) technology platform company, announced that the establishment of strategic partnership with Minth Group, a global leader in the manufacturing of exterior and structural automotive parts. In alignment with China’s national strategy to accelerate the development of the low-altitude economy, the two companies will join forces to co-develop high-safety airframe systems for EHang’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and demonstration scenarios for cultural tourism. By combining technological synergies and industrial innovation, this partnership aims to architect an value chain ecosystem and accelerate the real-world adoption of low-altitude technology.

Under the agreement, EHang and Minth Group will jointly develop the airframe systems for low-altitude aerial vehicles, including customized solutions of lightweight and highly secure body design, lightweight and scalable production of cabin interior components,as well as intelligent cockpit human-computer interaction systems, to further enhance the core competitiveness of EHang’s eVTOL products. In addition, leveraging EHang’s pioneering expertise in pilotless human-carrying aircraft, and Minth Group’s proprietary nonlinear dynamic modeling and multi-objective parametric simulation platform, the two parties will focus on the development of rotor systems with high-reliability, low-noise and high-efficiency, committed to breaking through the technical bottleneck of the coordinated optimization of aerodynamic efficiency and operational economy.

Meanwhile, EHang and Minth Group will jointly promote demonstration operation for low-altitude cultural tourism to showcase collaborative innovation results and develop eVTOL urban sightseeing business. A dedicated demonstration base for cultural tourism will be built to showcase the practical use of low-altitude, human-carrying aircraft in real-world UAM scenarios.

Ms. Ching Lien Wei, Chairwoman and CEO of Minth Group, stated, "EHang is a pioneer in the low-altitude aviation sector with outstanding innovations and achievements. Minth Group will contributes its over 30-years track record of providing professional automotive component solutions to more than 70 global automotive brands, as well as its global aerospace composite manufacturing network spanning 14 countries. Minth Group will support EHang with high-quality eVTOL aircraft components to architect an value chain ecosystem and accelerate the real-world adoption of low-altitude technologies."

Mr. Shuai Feng, Senior Vice President of EHang, commented, “Minth Group’s mature low-altitude supply chain and advanced R&D capabilities make it a valuable strategic partner for us. Their expertise in developing and manufacturing high-safety airframe systems for eVTOL aircraft，combined with EHang’s pilotless aerial vehicle technologies, will create a synergy effect, building an efficient collaboration model for the low-altitude aircraft industry chain. In addition, Minth Group has also demonstrated unique core competitiveness in the fields of wireless charging and transparent components, offering ample potential for future collaboration.Together, we aim to drive the low-altitude aviation industrial ecosystem forward and unlock new value for the global intelligent manufacturing, creating broader market value.”
