EHang will work with the Seville government to develop a passenger transportation service and coordinate the planning of flight routes.

Last August, the company carried out a similar trial in the Chinese city of Guangzhou.

In 2017, Seville joined the UAM Initiative Cities Community launched by the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities to promote the development of transportation.
