In releasing its latest financial results and forecasts EHang is withdrawing its previously issued full-year revenue guidance for 2026 and is not providing replacement guidance for the moment.
According to Huazhi Hu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EHang: “ In late June, a major accident involving a piloted light-sport aircraft in China prompted greater caution around low-altitude aviation safety regulation and affected the pace of passenger commercial operation approvals in certain regions. We fully understand this regulatory approach. For pilotless passenger aviation, safety, regulation and traceability have always been the foundation for commercial operations. We see this as a temporary adjustment in industry pace, not a change in market demand, our technology foundation or long-term direction.”
The company reported sales in the second quarter of 2026 of 36 eVTOLs aircraft, comprising 35 units of the EH216 series and one unit of VT35, compared with 52 units of the EH216 series in the second quarter of 2025 and increasing from four units in the first quarter of 2026; 520 units of GD4.0 formation drones were sold, compared with 1,000 units in the first quarter of 2026.
Total revenues were RMB77.9 million (USD11.5 million), representing an increase of 203.5% from RMB25.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, and a decrease of 31.3% from RMB113.3 million in the second quarter of 2025.
“Gross margin was 61.2%, on par with 61.5% in the second quarter of 2025 and 62.5% in the first quarter of 2026.
Operating loss was RMB131.7 million (USD19.4 million), compared with RMB100.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 and RMB127.9 million in the first quarter of 2026. Net loss was RMB128.3 million (USD18.9 million), compared with RMB103.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 and RMB126.4 million in the first quarter of 2026.”
According to the company: “EHang continued to strengthen the end-to-end operational systems at the Guangzhou and Hefei sites of two Air Operator Certificate holders, covering personnel training, operational support, insurance services, airspace coordination and emergency response. Routine trial operations at the two sites have remained safe and stable for 17 months, providing real-world operating data and experience to support regulatory engagement and future commercial operations.
“The Company also advanced the EH216-S from single-site operations toward A-to-B route operations. At its Guangzhou headquarters, the first point-to-point test route has entered internal trial operation, further validating route planning, ground support, multi-aircraft dispatching and contingency response capabilities.
“EHang continued to expand practical transportation applications, including low-altitude routes across Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan and a cross-sea low-altitude corridor project in Lingao, Hainan, in cooperation with China Construction Sixth Engineering Bureau. In Hong Kong, the Company was selected into the “Low-Altitude Economy Regulatory Sandbox X” Trial Projects and has commenced flight validation, with a public flight event planned in the near term.
“Building on its operating experience, EHang is standardizing its certifications, operating data, know-how and safety management capabilities into replicable solutions for customers and partners. The Company is also enhancing EH216-S operational support, with its battery cooling vehicle increasing daily utilization to 12–15 flights per aircraft and independent air-conditioning systems reducing cabin temperature by 10–15°C, supporting greater efficiency, passenger comfort and future scaled operations.”
Since the second quarter, the EH216-S has expanded its flight footprint to Mexico, Switzerland and Kazakhstan. To date, the EH216 series has flown in 23 countries worldwide, with nearly 100,000 safe flight missions completed. In Thailand, the company continued local flight validation and commercial operation preparations under the regulatory sandbox framework. A clear regulatory pathway has been established with the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, with the goal of obtaining a commercial operation certificate within 2026.
