The company continues to strive towards maintaining its full-year revenue guidance of RMB500 million. In this article, we will highlight key operational and financial metrics, recent developments, and future plans for the company.
Operational and Financial Highlights
In the third quarter of 2025, EHang achieved significant metrics in its operations. The sales and deliveries of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft totaled 42 units, consisting of 41 units from the EH216 series and one unit of the newly launched VT35 model. This marked a decrease from 63 units in Q3 2024 and 68 units in Q2 2025. The total revenues for the quarter stood at RMB92.5 million (approximately US$13 million), down from RMB128.1 million in Q3 2024 and RMB147.2 million in Q2 2025, reflecting the reduction in sales volume.
The gross margin decreased to 60.8%, compared to 61.2% during the same period last year, while the operating loss widened to RMB91.7 million (around US$12.9 million), compared to RMB54.7 million in Q3 2024. Notably, the net loss reached RMB82.1 million (about US$11.5 million), reflecting a widening compared to the previous year's figures.
Innovations and Product Launches
A key highlight for EHang this quarter was the unveiling of the VT35, a next-generation long-range pilotless eVTOL aircraft. With a loaded design range of approximately 200 kilometers, the VT35 is set to transform urban air mobility into intercity travel solutions, enhancing their service offerings significantly. The aircraft has undergone rigorous testing and type certification processes with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, including wind tunnel tests and transition flights.
The successful trial operations and partnerships, such as those with local governments for establishing operational hubs and certification pathways, have positioned EHang strongly for commercial pursuits. The VT35, priced at RMB6.5 million, has already attracted purchase orders from provinces including Anhui, Zhejiang, and Hainan.
Strengthening Global Presence
EHang has also focused on expanding its global footprint. The company launched the Thailand AAM Sandbox Initiative, intending to pave the way for the world’s first commercial eVTOL operations through a regulatory framework. Moreover, testing of the EH216-S model in Qatar showcased its capabilities as an air taxi, reducing transportation time significantly within urban regions. Additionally, EHang has made pioneering progress in nations such as Japan and Rwanda, conducting successful human-carrying flights.
Management Insights and Future Outlook
Company officials have been optimistic about future revenue generation while acknowledging the challenges of the current quarter. EHang maintains its full-year revenue guidance, projecting sales to ramp up, especially with major deliveries expected in the final quarter of the fiscal year. The dedication to enhancing operational readiness in both domestic and international markets will be crucial as commercial operations are initiated.
