Zaragoza in Spain is latest city to side with EHang
A partnership with EHang will drive Zaragoza, Spain's fifth largest city, to become a pioneer and leader in UAM in Spain and Europe. Commuters may soon view the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar from the sky.
Zaragoza mayor Jorge Azcón Navarro and CEO of EHang Spain and Latin America Victoria Xiang signed the strategic partnership agreement.

EHang has established a strategic partnership with Zaragoza in Spain. As EHang's newly-added forth urban air mobility (UAM) pilot city partner in Europe, Zaragoza follows Seville and Llíria in Spain and Linz in Austria.

According to the agreement, EHang and the city of Zaragoza will jointly promote the implementation of AAV demonstration projects in passenger transportation, aerial tourism, aerial logistics and other application scenarios under the framework of UAM strategic partnership. They will also collaborate on UAM infrastructure development such as a command-and-control centre and vertiport. Both parties aim to build an aerial transportation hub in Zaragoza to advance sustainable and eco-friendly development for the city.

As the fifth largest city in Spain, Zaragoza has geographic advantages. It actively promotes the development of urban air mobility as one of the members of UIC2 (UAM Initiative Cities Community) in Europe. In the future, with the goal to promote aerial transportation technology into the next stage of development, EHang will conduct flight tests and pilot projects at the Hera Drone Hub and along the Ebro river in Zaragoza. The partnership will also help Zaragoza to further develop UAM innovation strategy and lead the expansion of UAM in Europe.

Mayor of Zaragoza Jorge Azcón Navarro says: “The partnership with EHang will further drive Zaragoza to become a pioneer and leader in UAM in Spain and Europe. In the future, the general public will be able to enjoy the view of the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, a national art treasure, not only from an Ebro river boat but also from passenger-grade AAVs over the river.”

CEO of EHang Spain and Latin America Victoria Xiang adds: “Zaragoza is a crucial transportation hub city for Spain and for all of Europe. EHang is committed to making safe, autonomous and eco-friendly air mobility accessible to everyone. As the forerunner of cutting-edge AAV technologies and know-how, EHang will lead innovation and build a sustainable and efficient 3D air mobility solution for Zaragoza. The partnership will benefit the citizens of Zaragoza by making life more enjoyable and environmentally friendly.”
