SHANGHAI, July 16 (Xinhua) — United Arab Emirates (UAE) Autocraft on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with Chinese electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft maker Shanghai TCab Technology Co., Ltd. to purchase 350 E20 eVTOL aircraft worth a total of $1 billion.
This is the largest pre-order for eVTOLs in China to date.
The deal is a result of a partnership between the two parties at last year's China International Import Expo (CIIE).
The deal is expected to see TCab Tech's in-house developed E20 air taxis put into commercial service in low-altitude tourism and urban air mobility applications in the Middle East and North Africa region.
As it became known, the E20 aircraft is designed for one pilot and four passengers. Its designed flight range is 200 km, and the maximum speed is 320 km/h.
Autocraft explained the motivation for its partnership with Chinese company TCab Tech as recognition of the latter's technological maturity and potential for safety systems.
According to the concluded order document, the E20 eVTOL will be delivered in stages in several batches. -0-
