At the recent global commercial maiden flight event of Yihang EH216-S unmanned aerial vehicle held in Hefei, Guoxuan High tech and Yihang Intelligent signed a strategic cooperation agreement, committed to jointly developing power cells, battery packs, energy storage systems, and charging infrastructure based on Yihang Intelligent Unmanned Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft (eVTOL) products, and exploring new models of industrial coordinated development, Assist in enhancing the overall competitiveness of Hefei in the global low altitude economic field.
According to the cooperation agreement, Yihang Intelligence and Guoxuan High tech will fully leverage their core advantages in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to carry out comprehensive, in-depth, and long-term cooperation. Both parties are committed to customizing and developing eVTOL power battery solutions that meet the airworthiness standards of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and meet the standards of high safety, high energy density, high discharge power, and high quality. In addition, the cooperation between the two parties will also focus on the development of high-power supercharging piles and energy storage systems and other infrastructure to improve charging efficiency, jointly build charging networks, and thereby enhance the operational efficiency of eVTOL.
Founder and Chairman of Yihang Intelligence CEO Hu Huazhi stated: In recent years, the leapfrog development of China's battery technology has injected strong new impetus into the low altitude economy. As a global leader in the eVTOL industry, Yihang Intelligence has been committed to actively exploring safer, more efficient, and sustainable energy solutions to meet the high demand of our unmanned eVTOL products, from strategic investment in solid-state lithium battery company Xinshijie to strategic cooperation with the world's leading battery technology enterprise Guoxuan High tech The requirements for energy density, long endurance, and reliability. In addition, by partnering with Guoxuan High Tech, we are committed to the development and continuous optimization of energy storage and charging infrastructure, which will provide guarantees for the steady advancement of Yihang Intelligent eVTOL's future commercial operations and promote high-quality and sustainable development of the low altitude economy
Sun Aiming, President of Strategic Business at Guoxuan High tech, stated that with the booming low altitude economy, Guoxuan High tech has also been researching the application of lithium batteries in unmanned eVTOL, and has launched 46 cylindrical batteries with high energy density, high power, and high safety advantages. These batteries match the power requirements of unmanned eVTOL in terms of safety, energy density, cycle life, and environmental adaptability, and have reached industrialization conditions. At the same time, the company has also developed intelligent mobile energy storage charging stations, making aircraft charging more convenient and further helping to improve operational efficiency. This cooperation with Yihang Intelligence is an important step for Guoxuan to layout a "low altitude economy". We hope that both sides can complement each other's advantages in product design, development, commercial operation, and other aspects, strive for excellence, and jointly contribute to the new energy industry.
