While there has been a lot of hype over the future of electric vertical takeoff and landing craft (eVTOL) for use as air taxis in cities, we haven't seen much in the way of concepts
While there has been a lot of hype over the future of electric vertical takeoff and landing craft for use as air taxis in cities, we haven’t seen much in the way of concepts from automotive manufacturers. They’re already too focused on coming up with electric vehicles and trying to catch Tesla to do that. But, Volkswagen recently surprised us with a press release showing us its take on it.
“Through this pilot project, we are bringing Volkswagen’s long tradition of precision engineering, design, and innovation to the next level, by developing a premium product that will serve the vertical mobility needs of our future tech savvy Chinese customers,”, CEO of Volkswagen Group China.
Air mobility is a fast-growing industry that aims to use airspace for short- and medium-distance connections, especially between and above major cities. In China’s congested megacities, it will have a significant impact in the future of urban and intercity transportation. V.MO is likely to be marketed as a premium product for high-net-worth Chinese tech savvy customers, such as VIP air shuttle services, in the first phase of its commercial usage.
