Dubai welcomes a Chinese flying car. Since the UAE is the entrance to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), it has a long-standing and successful commercial relationship with China.  It remains the UAE’s top economic partner. 

China-UAE trade has been successful for years. Xpeng, a Chinese electric vehicle maker, showcased its flying automobile in the UAE to sell its electric aircraft abroad.

Dubai’s X2 is a two-passenger eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle) aircraft. 

On October 10, Gitex Global 2022, the largest innovation and technology fair in the world, was held in the Arab city of Dubai. The flight was the best part of the fair and event.

About 5,000 exhibitors and 100,000 people from 170 countries will be at the event. It will also bring together the most creative companies and smartest people to study a wide range of technical topics, such as the future of transportation.
