In Singapore, TCab Tech has established a strategic partnership with NexAvian, an AAM strategy and advisory firm, to support its Southeast Asia expansion. The collaboration focuses on ecosystem development, regulatory engagement, and market readiness, strengthening TCab Tech’s pathway toward AAM commercialization across the region.

About TCab Tech

TCab Tech is a leading innovative enterprise in China specializing in the development of eVTOL aircraft. Founded by a group of
engineers dedicated to making AAM a reality, we are committed to building a reliable air mobility ecosystem that enables low-emission
aerial ridesharing for the public. We envision a future where Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) transforms daily commutes, giving people
more time to spend with their loved ones.

We are developing the E20, a passenger-carrying, vectored-thrust eVTOL, by integrating proven aviation technologies, advanced
electrification, and intelligent algorithms.

The name “TCab” is a metaphor for “time taxi,” reflecting our mission to offer the public an affordable and time-efficient means of
transportation — and above all, to make the joy of flight accessible to everyone.

What is an eVTOL and how is it different from a helicopter?

Compared with helicopters, the E20 eVTOL offers the following advantages:

Higher Safety

Electric architecture adds safety redundancy. Failure of any single power unit does not affect normal flight. Probability of a Catastrophic Failure Condition：10⁻⁸per.

VTOL

With vertical takeoff and landing capability, the aircraft operates without conventional runways, allowing flexible deployment from compact vertiports and rooftop landing sites while significantly reducing infrastructure and operating costs.

Lower Cost

Lower aircraft manufacturing and maintenance costs. Projected operating costs are approximately 1/10 of those of comparable helicopters.

Affordable Fares

Projected fares of approximately MYR 2–3 per passenger-kilometer, making air mobility accessible to more people.

Lower Noise

100 times less noise than helicopters

Green Energy

Pure electric, low carbon travel

What are the key advantages of the E20 eVTOL, and what problems does it solve?

Specifications

Power Source: Fully Electric
Configuration: Tilt-rotor
Capacity: 5 seats ( 1 Pilot + 4 Pax )
Payload: 450 kg
Maximum Speed: 320 km/h
Maximum Range: 200 km
Cruising Altitude: 300-600 m
MOA: 3,000 m

Speed and Capacity

With a maximum speed of 320 km/h and a payload capacity for 1 pilot plus 4 passengers, the E20 eVTOL significantly reduces intercity travel time.

Tilt-Rotor Technology

The aircraft’s tilt-rotor design combines vertical takeoff capabilities with efficient fixed-wing cruising, enabling higher speed and superior energy efficiency compared to multi-rotor or lift+cruise counterparts.

Advanced Charging and Safety

Equipped with an 800V ultra-fast charging system, the E20 eVTOL enables rapid turnaround times. Its safety is reinforced by redundant systems, including a six-rotor configuration and Cell-to-Wing (CTW) battery integration, ensuring higher safety level even in critical scenarios.

Low Noise and Sustainability

Optimized low-noise propellers and pure electric solution align with global decarbonization goals, making the E20 eVTOL an eco-friendly urban mobility solution.
