Gasgoo Munich- On May 29, GOVY — the low-altitude mobility brand incubated by GAC Group — marked a dual milestone in Guangzhou’s Huangpu District: the official opening of its new smart manufacturing plant and the simultaneous rollout of the first GOVY AirCab flying car.
The move signals the model’s entry into a new phase where industrial mass production, airworthiness certification, and commercialization run in parallel. It also marks a two-pronged breakthrough in capacity building and product qualification, following the aircraft’s maiden flight over a city center scenario at Guangzhou’s Haixinsha on March 20 to verify real-world adaptability.

The Guangzhou plant is designed with an annual capacity of 100 units, having established a comprehensive smart manufacturing system that spans everything from component sourcing to final delivery.
GOVY has already secured AS9100D aviation quality management system certification, covering the entire lifecycle from R&D and production to testing and iteration. Meanwhile, the production version of the GOVY AirCab has completed a series of critical airworthiness tests, including full-aircraft static trials, system durability tests, and electromagnetic compatibility assessments.
Notably, GOVY isn’t simply applying a single manufacturing logic from either aviation or automotive sectors. Instead, it is pioneering a hybrid model that fuses "aviation safety standards with automotive mass-production supply chains" — leveraging AS9100D to maintain safety baselines while importing the precision quality control and cost management capabilities of the auto industry.
On the commercial front, GOVY has forged strategic partnerships with Beijing Hengkuan Low-Altitude Technology, Guangzhou Zhidu Cultural Tourism, and Shenzhen Zhongke Tianyu. Together, they are advancing the construction of flying car demonstration bases and commercial deployment across scenarios such as low-altitude passenger transport and tourism. Guangzhou Zhidu Cultural Tourism and Shenzhen Zhongke Tianyu have already locked in tentative orders for the GOVY AirCab, initially forming a commercial loop where "scenarios validate technology and orders drive capacity."
While most players in the low-altitude economy sector remain stuck in the prototype phase, GOVY has successfully charted the full path of "scenario flight verification, industrial mass production, qualification barrier building, and tentative order locking." This not only provides a replicable model for the commercialization of flying cars but also brings the vision of three-dimensional mobility in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area into sharper focus.
