XPENG AEROHT Commences Construction of World's First Mass-Production Flying Car Factory in Guangdong

In a groundbreaking move signaling the ascension of the low-altitude economy, XPENG AEROHT has officially started the construction of what is proclaimed to be the world's first mass-production facility for flying cars in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. This pioneering enterprise, a subsidiary of renowned electric vehicle manufacturer XPENG, is set to revolutionize the burgeoning market of flying vehicles.

The launch of the factory occurred this past Sunday in the bustling industrial hub of Guangzhou, signaling a promising future for the region's technological advancements and its positioning in the global markets. The Guangdong area, known for its forward-thinking initiatives, is carving out a new niche in aeronautics manufacturing, with this latest venture set to anchor its status at the forefront of innovation.

Details about the facility reveal an expansive first phase covering 18 hectares. This massive space is designated for the assembly of the air module for the modular flying car, aptly named the "Land Aircraft Carrier." Its construction is designed to bolster production capacity to an impressive sum of 10,000 units annually, signifying a major step towards making flying cars more accessible to a wider market.

The "Land Aircraft Carrier" is not just a concept, as it has already soared through the skies with its manned test flight conducted last September. With its eyes set on the commercial market, XPENG AEROHT declares the anticipation of initiating pre-sales by the close of the current year, according to Zhao Deli, the founder of XPENG AEROHT. This statement banks on the industry's readiness to leap into a future where air mobility redefines transportation norms.

Guangzhou's Huangpu District has emerged as a central hub for more than 50 companies that form a dedicated cluster aiming at the expansion of the low-altitude economy. This incorporates an array of activities from development and manufacturing to application, marking an increased focus on the segment which promises to bring innovative solutions to urban mobility challenges and beyond.

In tandem with Guangzhou's endeavors, China’s capital, Beijing, is also constructing its foundation as a haven for the low-altitude economy. Plans are underway to host over 5,000 enterprises in this sector by 2027, widening its portfolio on low-altitude flight applications such as emergency rescue and express delivery services. Such developments illustrate China’s comprehensive push to dominate the market for low-altitude aviation technologies.

As XPENG AEROHT edges closer to the commercial launch of its "Land Aircraft Carrier" and as Guangzhou establishes itself as a premier destination for low-altitude economic ventures, the transportation landscape is primed for a remarkable transformation. With China taking to the skies, the rest of the world eagerly watches this new horizon in mobility.
