Highlights:
- Deepal eVTOL to be unveiled at NADA Auto Show 2025, Nepal’s first public flying car reveal
- Collaboration between Changan Automobile and EHang, a leader in autonomous aerial vehicles
- Fully electric, zero-emissions Urban Air Mobility (UAM) solution built for short-range, autonomous flights
- Tailored for Nepal’s traffic congestion and difficult terrain
- Commercial rollout expected by 2026
Deepal eVTOL Flying Car Unveiling at NADA 2025
The Deepal electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft will make its first public appearance in Nepal at the NADA Auto Show 2025. This marks a historic moment — the debut of Nepal’s first flying car, showcased by MAW Vriddhi Autocorp.
Visitors to the auto show will get a close look at how this aircraft works, with potential demos, simulations, and insights into its future in Nepal’s urban transport system.
A Bold Partnership
In late 2024, Changan Automobile and EHang entered a joint venture to push the boundaries of personal and public air mobility. Their mission? To bring autonomous, electric flying vehicles into mainstream use — fast.
- Changan brings scale: R&D, global supply chains, and automotive experience
- EHang brings the tech: Autonomous flight systems, eVTOL manufacturing, and regulatory milestones
- Together, they’re building aircraft that could be deployed at scale, not just as luxury items, but practical tools for dense, high-traffic areas like Kathmandu
So, What Really Is the Deepal eVTOL?
This isn’t science fiction. The Deepal eVTOL is a real, fully functional aircraft designed for short, intra-city travel. Think of it as an aerial taxi — all-electric, self-flying, and vertical take-off enabled.

Why Nepal Needs Flying Cars?
Nepal’s terrain, traffic, and infrastructure gaps make it a perfect testbed for eVTOL aircraft. From dense urban congestion to remote, hard-to-reach villages, flying cars offer something no road vehicle can.
Real Solutions for Nepal:
- Avoid traffic in cities like Kathmandu
- Connect remote regions with limited or no road access
- Cut travel time from hours to minutes
- Support eco-transport goals with zero-emission vehicles
- Aid in emergency response and rescue operations
What to Expect from the Deepal eVTOL Showcase
MAW Vriddhi Autocorp is expected to host the Deepal eVTOL reveal with immersive, public-friendly features:
- Static display of the aircraft
- Interactive walk-through of its flight systems
- VR simulations of autonomous flight
- Sessions with engineers and mobility experts
- Panel discussions on Nepal’s readiness for Urban Air Mobility
This is not a concept car hidden behind ropes. It’s the real deal, and it’s meant for public engagement.
From Auto Show to Airborne Commutes
Changan and EHang have ambitious deployment plans for the Deepal eVTOL, and Nepal is in the spotlight.
What’s Coming Next:
- Pilot production already underway
- Controlled flight trials in select cities
- App-based on-demand air taxi services
- Amphibious models (land + air mobility) on the horizon
- Integration into smart city infrastructure
- Commercial availability expected by 2026
