XPeng Motors is setting its sights on the sky with a major collaboration to bring its XPeng Huitian Flying Car to market. This ambitious project aims to redefine transportation by offering a modular flying vehicle capable of both road and air travel.
XPeng Huitian Flying Car targets mass production in Q4 2025
The company through an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has detailed a significant collaboration between Guangdong XPeng and Guangdong Huitian, both under XPeng Motors’ umbrella. This partnership is formalized on January 2, 2024.
Guangdong Huitian, controlled by He Xiaopeng, the major shareholder of XPeng Motors, is primarily focused on the research and development of flying cars. Guangdong XPeng, a subsidiary of XPeng Motors, will contribute its expertise in design and technical development, playing a pivotal role in the assembly of these innovative vehicles.
The XPeng Huitian’s modular flying car “Land Aircraft Carrier” features a unique land-air integrated design, with a detachable and recombining land and flying body. The land body can carry 4-5 passengers, is equipped with a hybrid power system, and offers a three-axle six-wheel automotive design for enhanced mobility.
The flying body is a fully electric, manned aircraft with vertical take-off capability, suitable for low-altitude flight, and available in both manual and automatic driving modes. It can be charged within the cabin, safeguarding against environmental elements.
XPeng Huitian is targeting mass production by Q4 2025, with Guangdong XPeng handling the final assembly. This ambitious timeline reflects XPeng’s commitment to bringing this revolutionary technology to market as soon as possible.
Of course, challenges lie ahead. Regulatory hurdles, infrastructure development, and public safety concerns all need to be addressed. But with its innovative design and determined partners, XPeng Huitian is paving the way for a future where flying cars become commonplace, transforming how we live, work, and travel.
