As a pioneer in the field of low-altitude economy, Xiaopeng Huitian is committed to creating safe and intelligent flying cars and other low-altitude travel products for users through technological innovation and product innovation. As a split flying car for individual consumers, the "Land Aircraft Carrier" has attracted widespread attention from the market as soon as it was released. It won more than 2,000 orders at the China Air Show held in November this year alone. At present, the "Land Aircraft Carrier" has successfully completed the world's first manned flight, and pre-sales for individual consumers are about to start, and mass production and delivery are expected to begin in 2026.

Zhao Deli, founder and president of Xiaopeng Huitian, says: "As a new industry, the low-altitude economy has shown great development potential. Schaeffler has a very strategic vision and is optimistic about this track and has made arrangements in advance. By integrating the most advanced technologies in the aerospace and automotive fields, it has joined Huitian's product research and development. Our cooperation in the field of flight power will give full play to each other's advantages and jointly promote the rapid development of new quality productivity."

"Xpeng Huitian is a representative company in the field of low-altitude economy. We are very pleased to establish a cooperative relationship with Xiaopeng Huitian and support it in developing safe and reliable flying cars." Dr. Zhang Yilin, CEO of Schaeffler China, says, "As a technology company focusing on drive technology, we hope to give full play to our innovative capabilities and technological advantages in the field of drive technology, provide customers with innovative products and high-quality services, and work together to promote the commercial development of the low-altitude economy."
