The city government at the local level is said to be investing 6 million dollars into the build of the production factory. The factory will be built to enable a capacity of 600 eVTOLs per year.
The site won't just be home to the production factory but will have room for a developmental center, technical and operational center for training. In Canada, Quebec to be specific, Transport Canada has given EHang a special flight operations certificate to allow them to test the EHang 216 there.
