Expert Statements
Truong Viet Dzung, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People’s Committee
“Hanoi is in a phase of rapid urban development, and the low‑altitude economy holds tremendous potential. We greatly appreciate EHang’s technical support and collaboration. The signing and execution of this project will strongly advance the development of Hanoi’s low‑altitude economy and science‑innovation industries, drive comprehensive urban development, and ultimately bring benefits to Hanoi residents. Innovative technologies such as pilotless aerial vehicles will also open brand‑new possibilities for Hanoi’s urban mobility and cultural‑tourism growth.”
Conor Yang, Chief Financial Officer of EHang
“Expanding into overseas markets means far more than exporting aircraft hardware. What matters most is the deep alignment of technology and commercial operations with local regulatory systems. Safety and compliance are the bedrock for the commercial realization of AAM. 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, it connects technology, commercial operations and regulation to accelerate commercial roll‑out. Vietnam is a highly innovative and important market within ASEAN. We look forward to working solidly with the Hanoi government on testing and validation activities, accumulating valuable practical experience for the safe and orderly commercial deployment of pilotless eVTOL in the country, and advancing commercial opportunities for low‑altitude mobility across Southeast Asia.”
HANOI, Vietnam, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EHang Holdings Limited ("EHang" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EH), the world’s leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technology platform company, today announced that its Global Fast Track Program has expanded to Vietnam: Vietnam has become the second country to join the Program following Sri Lanka, with Hanoi as its first stop, marking EHang’s first city‑level partnership in the country.
