Insights
EHang's successful 83km intercity drone flights demonstrate commercial viability for UAV logistics networks in the Greater Bay Area.
The successful completion of an 83-kilometer intercity round-trip cargo delivery between Zhuhai and Guangzhou using EHang's VT20 series logistics drones represents a significant operational milestone for the company's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. The 55-minute flight time delivers a 40-minute advantage over conventional road transport under normal conditions, with even greater time savings during peak congestion periods.
What makes this achievement particularly noteworthy is the demonstration of real-world commercial applications for long-range drone logistics. The transportation of time-sensitive cargo鈥攆resh seafood in one direction and medical testing samples in the return flight鈥攙alidates the practical utility of this technology beyond controlled testing environments. This proves the platform's versatility for high-value, time-critical shipments.
The flight route was developed through EHang's joint venture with Zhuhai Wanshan Development Group and Feixing Tianxia, building on a year of safe operations in the Wanshan Archipelago. The transition from extensive testing (over ten completed round-trip test flights) to planned regular commercial operations indicates the technical maturity of EHang's logistics solution.
From a technical perspective, establishing reliable communications, navigation, and safety systems across an 83km route spanning multiple urban centers is a complex achievement. The successful integration with regional infrastructure and regulatory frameworks demonstrates EHang's progress in addressing the operational challenges of commercial drone deployment.
The development of this intercity corridor is part of a broader initiative to establish a comprehensive low-altitude logistics network throughout the Greater Bay Area. The successful implementation of this model could serve as a template for expansion into other regions, potentially accelerating the commercial adoption of drone logistics across China and globally.

At the 2025 Wanshan Archipelago Low-Altitude Integrated Application Conference held on July 30, the EHang VT20 series pilotless logistics UAV took off from the UAV Logistics Operations Hub at Tangjiagang Port in Zhuhai, transporting fresh seafood across Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Guangzhou, before landing at EHang Future City Suigang Port in Guangzhou. Subsequently, the VT20 series UAV carried medical testing samples from Yunkang Da鈥檃n Laboratory and efficiently completed the transport mission from Guangzhou鈥檚 Suigang Port back to Tangjiagang Port in Zhuhai. These real-world flights validate the feasibility of using UAV for long-distance logistics, and highlight the potential for time-sensitive cargo such as fresh produce and pharmaceuticals, providing safe, efficient, fast and smart low-altitude solutions for logistics transportation in the GBA.
This flight route is operated by Wanyi Tianxia (Zhuhai) Aviation Co., Ltd, a joint venture by EHang, Zhuhai Wanshan Development Group and Feixing Tianxia (Zhuhai) Technology Co., Ltd. They formed a strategic partnership since last year to advance UAV projects across the Wanshan Archipelago to develop a 鈥淭angjiagang Port Model鈥� for the low-altitude economy. Logistics is a key focus area. Previously, a regular UAV delivery route has been opened between Tangjiagang Port and Guishan Island in Zhuhai, saving the transportation time by approximately
Juan Li, Director of the Zhuhai Wanshan District Administrative Committee, stated, 鈥淭he low-altitude economy is emerging as a strategic focal point for the next wave of industrial development. Wanshan District is accelerating efforts to build up a national leading demonstration zone for integrated low-altitude applications in island regions. We鈥檙e building maritime infrastructure, expanding aerial corridors and low-altitude network across the GBA. We鈥檙e also actively exploring diversified scenarios such as aerial tourism, marine ranching, and unmanned island operations to drive innovation and empower sustainable development in Wanshan.鈥�
Qizheng Zhu, General Manager of Wanyi Tianxia, commented, 鈥淭ogether with EHang and other partners, Wanyi Tianxia is committed to building a new type of logistics corridor connecting coastal islands and central cities. We will continue exploring additional intercity UAV routes to establish an 鈥楢ir Postal Network鈥� across the GBA, enabling fast, efficient, and cost-effective two-way cargo movement.鈥�
Wei Liu, Senior Director at EHang, added, 鈥淎s a leading technology pioneer in the low-altitude economy, EHang is dedicated to empowering our clients and local governments with intelligent aircraft systems and integrated solutions across various application scenarios鈥攔anging from smart logistics and passenger sightseeing to aerial mobility and emergency response.
