The Shiro Corporation - GAC Group is one step closer to the future of air transportation. At the Hong Kong International Auto and Supply Chain Expo 2025, they officially introduced the GOVY AirCab, an electric air vehicle that is no longer just a concept but is ready for mass production and can now be ordered starting today.
This launch is claimed to mark GAC's strategic step in leading the global automotive industry's transition towards the era of two-dimensional mobility, on land and in the air. GOVY AirCab brings a new approach to future urban vehicles: compact, autonomous, and efficient in avoiding traffic congestion in major cities.
Priced below CNY 1.69 million (approximately IDR 3.7 billion), GOVY AirCab comes as a two-passenger flying vehicle. It relies on six main rotors with a total of 12 blades, along with a gull-wing door design that adds a futuristic touch.
Technically, this flying car is developed using aviation-grade carbon fiber material to reduce weight by up to 30%. Approximately 90% of the aircraft's body structure is made from this lightweight material, making it more agile in the air.
The "Halo" light design and interactive lighting effects are also embedded as a symbol of futurism and to build emotional interaction with the user.
In terms of performance, GOVY AirCab offers ultra-fast charging, from zero to full in just 25 minutes, or 15 minutes from 50 percent to 100 percent. Its range reaches up to 30 kilometers with an operational altitude below 300 meters, making it ideal for intra-city inter-district travel.
The steering system is already at level 4 (L4) autonomy, which means the vehicle can operate itself without human intervention under certain conditions. This is supported by computational power of over 500 TOPS (trillion operations per second), as well as a sensor system with a range of more than 300 meters.
Features such as 5G connectivity, smart cabin with automatic air conditioning, aromatherapy, interactive screens, as well as high-precision navigation system (up to ±0.1°) are designed to enhance user comfort and safety. Self-checks based on cloud technology and redundant flight controls are also highlights for high-level safety.
One of the other interesting features is the modular design, which allows for the separation between the air cabin and the ground chassis. This structure is said to provide an additional layer of protection in emergency situations.
Currently, GOVY AirCab is undergoing the airworthiness certification process and is planned to begin limited operational testing by the end of 2025. Mass production and delivery of units to consumers is scheduled for late 2026.
With this aggressive move, GAC is not only positioning itself as a leader in the category of electric vehicles but also entering the low-altitude economy arena, which is predicted to become a trillion-yuan industry. GOVY AirCab is proof that the future of mobility is no longer limited to the roads; the sky is now wide open.
