EHang Q1 2026 Earnings: Four eVTOLs Delivered, Commercial Operations Framework Takes Shape

EHang Holdings Limited has released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, reporting deliveries of four EH216-series electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The figure represents a significant decline from 11 units in Q1 2025 and from the 61 EH216-series and five VT35 units delivered in Q4 2025.

Financial Highlights

• Total revenues: RMB 25.7 million (~USD 3.7 million), roughly in line with RMB 26.1 million in Q1 2025, but well below RMB 177.6 million in Q4 2025.
• Gross margin: 62.5%, slightly ahead of 62.4% in Q1 2025 and 61.6% in Q4 2025.
• Operating loss: RMB 127.9 million (~USD 18.5 million), widening from RMB 89.9 million in Q1 2025 and RMB 43.0 million in Q4 2025.
• Net loss: RMB 126.4 million (~USD 18.3 million), compared with RMB 78.4 million in Q1 2025 and RMB 20.9 million in Q4 2025.

Collaboration With CAAC Ahead of Ticketed Passenger Service

As China moves to enable publicly available commercial eVTOL operations, EHang and its operating partners are working closely with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to satisfy additional operational and safety requirements before ticketed passenger services can launch.

The two operators holding Air Operator Certificates (OCs) — EHang General Aviation and Heyi Aviation — received their OCs in March 2025. Since then, both operators have been refining standard operating procedures, ground support systems, crew training programs, and emergency response capabilities. Routine internal trial commercial flights have been conducted with a perfect safety record — zero accidents and zero violations — accumulating more than 3,000 safe flight missions to date.

Full Commercial Framework Being Established

EHang has built out a comprehensive commercial operations framework covering fare-setting, online and offline ticketing channels, customer service, feedback management, and standardized operating procedures. Across China, more than 40 eVTOL operating sites have been established by customers and partners, with some already entering routine flight operations. The company continues to scale operational capacity and develop a replicable business model in preparation for full-scale commercial deployment.

EH216-S Ground Operator Training Program Launched

To advance the EH216-S crew training program, EHang has assembled an experienced team of instructors and prepared the necessary training aircraft, facilities, and practice areas. In May 2026, the CAAC officially issued the Training Requirements for Remote Pilots of Large Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems, providing a clear regulatory framework for standardized training of EH216-S ground operators.

Commercial Demonstration Site Network Expands

EHang is actively developing a network of operational demonstration sites across multiple use cases:

• Guangzhou Huangpu Sui-Kong Port — intercity aerial sightseeing operations
• Hefei Luogang Park — hub-type dual-landing-pad operations site
• Shenzhen Luohu Sports and Leisure Park — urban multi-modal vertiport equipped with a lift-type hangar
• Zhuhai Guishan Island Harbor — coastal logistics hub vertiport

This diverse site portfolio reflects EHang's strategic positioning across tourism, urban air mobility, and logistics applications, laying the groundwork for large-scale commercial deployment.
