“Funded by the European Commission under the EIT’s Urban Mobility initiative, U-SAVE aims to improve response times and safety, avoiding road traffic congestion and associated risks during emergencies and increasing the efficiency of emergency services,” said the company in a press release. “Advanced systems are designed to operate efficiently in complex urban aerial environments, providing a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional ground-based emergency response methods. The proposed aerial service will be integrated through intelligent modular software specifically tailored for Air Traffic Management and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) emergency operations, providing a robust and resilient solution.
The project consortium includes the Aragonese Aerospace Cluster (AERA), the Aragonese Innovative Logistics Association (ALIA), ANRA Technologies and the Estonian Aviation Academy (EAVA). U-SAVE has also garnered support from public institutions like Zaragoza City Council, the Aragonese Institute of Health Sciences, Hernán Cortés Hospital Group, the Aragón Health Cluster, and the city of Tartu in Estonia, as well as endorsement from health and logistic private companies like Novaltia and Prolog, says the press release.
EHang will contribute its EH216 series pilotless eVTOL aircraft system. The project will feature flight demonstration campaigns in two European host cities—Zaragoza, Spain, and Tartu, Estonia. Additionally, trial and test flights will be conducted at EHang’s UAM Center at the Lleida–Alguaire International Airport (LEDA) in Spain, which was launched in November 2023.
