China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) has reinforced the low-altitude economy as a strategic emerging industry cluster, with ongoing policies promoting industrial innovation. The General Aviation Equipment Innovation and Application Implementation Plan (2024–2030) also targets the commercial deployment of unmanned, electric, and intelligent general aviation equipment in emergency rescue and other fields by 2027. Leveraging Beijing’s strategic position, EHang intends to build a national benchmark project at the Headquarters in Fangshan, advancing modern emergency rescue management and high-quality development of the low-altitude economy during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

Zhao Wang, Chief Operating Officer of EHang, added: “Low-altitude emergency rescue sector is not only a vital component of the low-altitude economy, but also a key direction for developing aerial rescue capabilities and advancing integrated social security systems. It represents a strategic fulcrum for fostering and strengthening new quality productive forces. Since partnering with the Fangshan District Government, both sides have been committed to building a new ecosystem for the low-altitude emergency rescue sector, aiming to establish a national benchmark project for early-stage deployment and trials, featuring comprehensive and scalable capabilities. The successful assembly of the first EH216-F at the Headquarters in Fangshan signifies a positive beginning for low-altitude firefighting equipment manufacturing in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, laying the groundwork for the subsequent development of the low-altitude emergency rescue industry. Moving forward, we will continue advancing innovation in pilotless eVTOL technologies, working closely with Fangshan District Government and industry partners to further strengthen the low-altitude emergency rescue ecosystem. Through these efforts, we aim to deliver safer, smarter, more efficient, and greener low-altitude solutions for the modernization of China’s emergency rescue systems during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.”
