Eve Air Mobility, in partnership with InvestSP, held a strategic meeting in São Paulo that brought together authorities, representatives from regulatory, environmental and safety agencies, as well as operators, to discuss and align the next steps for implementing eVTOL in Brazil. The initiative addressed essential topics to enable the start of commercial operations of the electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft in 2027, including regulation, infrastructure development, such as vertiports and charging stations, and workforce training in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) industry.

Eve’s eVTOL will be produced in Taubaté (SP), at a facility with the capacity to manufacture up to 480 units per year. The company already has around 2,800 global orders, including firm orders and letters of intent, valued at approximately USD 14 billion. The model accommodates five occupants (one pilot and four passengers) and has a range of up to 100 kilometers, aiming to meet the demands of the UAM industry and serve short-distance intra-urban and regional missions.

Eve projects a significant reduction in travel times on strategic urban routes, such as the connection between São Paulo’s southern zone and Guarulhos International Airport, from up to 150 minutes by land to about 15 ones by the eVTOL.
