On July 24, GOVY AirCab held a grand ceremony in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong Productivity Council to mark the delivery of its first prototype.
The flying car has now entered the airworthiness certification phase, with plans to obtain certification and commence mass production in the second half of 2026. 2027 is poised to become the inaugural year for low-altitude passenger flight.
The successful delivery of the first GOVY AirCab prototype in Hong Kong not only demonstrates GAC High-Tech's robust commercialization capabilities but also signifies the company's accelerated globalization strategy, with Hong Kong serving as a pivotal market hub.
This initiative integrates China's intelligent and mature low-altitude mobility ecosystem into the global landscape, positioning China's three-dimensional transportation solutions as a key player in the emerging blue ocean of the global low-altitude economy.
Integrating R&D, Production, and Sales
Setting a New Industry Benchmark
In June this year, GAC Highway officially launched the GOVY AirCab in Hong Kong. With its innovative design, advanced technology, and broad application prospects, it quickly captured significant industry attention, securing nearly 1,000 intent orders on the spot. This fully demonstrated the market's high recognition and strong anticipation for the product.
Just one month later, the first prototype was successfully delivered. Such efficient execution and robust production capabilities undoubtedly serve as powerful proof of Highway's commercialization prowess.
This achievement not only significantly enhances GAC Highway's investment value but also sets a new benchmark for the entire industry. It powerfully propels the development of the low-altitude mobility sector while further amplifying the company's industry influence.
As a low-altitude mobility technology enterprise fully supported and incubated by GAC Group, GAC Highway's core business comprehensively covers multiple segments including the R&D, production, sales, and operational services of flying car systems and their ecosystem products.
The company consistently adheres to its core strategy of “full-stack in-house R&D of product core technologies + innovation in intelligent customer engagement and operation platforms + GAC's mature automotive industrial chain and ecosystem.” It is committed to delivering systematic solutions from products to platforms for global users, determined to become a leader in the low-altitude mobility ecosystem.

Innovative Technology Integration
Empowering Multi-modal Mobility in the Bay Area
The flying car delivered this time is GOVY AirCab, the third mass-produced multi-rotor flying car from GOVY. With a range of 20 to 30 kilometers, it is suitable for low-altitude travel within cities or for short-distance trips, such as city sightseeing and short business commutes, offering citizens a more efficient and convenient transportation option.
Notably, over 90% of its airframe is constructed from carbon fiber composite materials. This significantly reduces vehicle weight, enhancing flight efficiency while substantially increasing structural strength and durability. The model incorporates multiple redundant safety designs across propulsion, energy, flight control, and communication systems, ensuring flight safety at multiple critical levels and providing passengers with a reliable safety net.
The GOVY AirCab also enables rapid 25-minute recharging, drastically reducing wait times and significantly boosting operational efficiency. Additionally, its intelligent low-altitude obstacle avoidance capability allows it to accurately detect and navigate around obstacles in complex low-altitude environments, ensuring safe and smooth flights.
In empowering the Greater Bay Area's three-dimensional mobility, GAC High-Altitude's flying car products hold immeasurable potential. With the rapid economic development of the Greater Bay Area, inter-city transportation demand continues to grow. Traditional ground transportation faces severe congestion during peak hours, significantly limiting travel efficiency.
Beyond the GOVY AirCab, GOVY is simultaneously developing a dual-technology approach combining “short-range multi-rotor” and “intercity composite-wing” solutions. This has led to the creation of multiple configurations, including the distributed-power AirCar and the composite-wing AirJet.
By fully utilizing low-altitude airspace, these innovations pioneer entirely new modes of transportation. They genuinely realize the “40-minute living circle” vision for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, significantly enhancing inter-city mobility and economic exchange within the region.
Two regions join hands to move forward
Building a better future for mobility
Hong Kong, as an international metropolis and major transportation hub, possesses unique advantages and tremendous development potential in the field of low-altitude mobility.
The close collaboration between GOVY AirCab and the Hong Kong Productivity Council will fully leverage both parties' resource strengths to advance cooperation in R&D and jointly explore practical applications of low-altitude mobility within the Greater Bay Area.
Simultaneously, demonstration operations and promotion in Hong Kong will provide valuable insights for LTA development across the Greater Bay Area and globally, guiding the future trajectory of the industry.
The successful delivery of the first GOVY AirCab prototype marks a significant milestone in GAC High-Altitude's development journey and represents a major milestone for the LTA industry.
Su Qingpeng, General Manager of GAC High-Tech, briefed Cheung Tsz-cheong, Chief Technology Director of the Hong Kong Productivity Council.
In the future, GAC High-Altitude will continue to increase investment in technological R&D, continuously optimize product performance, expand application areas, and accelerate the commercialization of low-altitude travel.
Simultaneously, GAC High-Altitude will actively collaborate with partners to jointly advance the refinement and development of the low-altitude economy industrial ecosystem. We aim to deliver more convenient, efficient, and safe low-altitude travel experiences for users across the Greater Bay Area and globally, contributing our strength to building a better future for mobility.
Su Qingpeng, General Manager of GAC High-Altitude, briefed Li Fanfeng, Vice President of the Greater Bay Area Low-Altitude Economy Alliance.
