China’s GAC has started taking pre-orders for its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOLs) air taxi, the GOVY AirCab, at a price tag of RMB 1.68 million ($234,000).
The vehicle made its debut at this year’s International Automotive and Supply Chain Expo (Hong Kong) on Thursday.
A pilot service using the air taxis is set to begin later this year in the country’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.
Also at the IASC Expo, Changan Automobile, another state-owned automaker, announced it will complete the first test flight of its flying vehicle by the end of this year.
