# Hitachi Energy signs deal to develop electrical infrastructure for Eve's 'flying car'

SAO PAULO, July 17 : Hitachi Energy and Eve have formed a partnership to jointly develop the power infrastructure needed for Eve's "flying car," or electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, the companies said on Friday. • Under the memorandum of understanding, Eve and the energy unit of Japanese conglomerate Hitachi will work together on the charging apparatus for the aircraft. • This is the first partnership that Eve, which is controlled by Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, has signed for charging infrastructure for its aircraft. • "The power has to be there from day one. Otherwise, we can't fly; we can't take off," Luiz Mauad, Eve's vice president of customer services, told reporters at the event announcing the deal. • Hitachi Energy will adapt its technology for electric vehicle fleet charging to meet the specific requirements of eVTOLs, said Glauco Freitas, the firm's Brazil head. • Eve's aircraft are currently undergoing flight testing, with certification expected in 2028; the firm has already attracted 2,700 pre-orders worldwide.
