Shanghai (Gasgoo)- EHang, a Chinese urban air mobility (UAM) technology platform company, signed an agreement with Fangshan District People's Government of Beijing Municipality (Fangshan district government) for the strategic cooperation in the low-altitude emergency rescue sector, according to a post on the company's WeChat account.
Under the agreement, EHang will set up its national headquarters for low-altitude emergency rescue equipment in Fangshan District for emergency rescue operation business. The Fangshan district government will coordinate industrial funds to support this initiative and related projects.
Both parties will work together to develop a comprehensive emergency fire-fighting industrial park in Fangshan district, integrating R&D, testing, manufacturing, sales, maintenance, and training, so as to foster collaboration between upstream and downstream industries. Key facilities are to be established in the park for EHang emergency rescue products, such as an innovation incubation center, a manufacturing base with large-scale intelligent production lines, a smart command-and-control center, and a multi-scenario testing and training center.
In addition, both parties aim to develop various low-altitude emergency response scenarios in the district, covering urban firefighting, forest fire suppression, industrial rescue, disaster relief, inspection, and other tasks. Beyond that, other low-altitude application scenarios such as logistics transportation, cultural tourism sightseeing, and passenger transportation will also be developed. To support these, a full-scenario simulation center is planned to be established to cultivate operation and maintenance staff for diverse emergency and rescue missions with different aircraft across various scenarios.
