Empowering the Future of Flight: CALB and GOVY Establish Strategic Partnership in the eVTOL Batteries Sector

August 8 — In a major step toward making urban air travel a reality, CALB and GOVY have signed a new strategic cooperation agreement. The partnership aims to accelerate the development of advanced battery systems for the next generation of electric aircraft, particularly eVTOLs (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicles).

GOVY, which brings together expertise from the automotive and aviation industries, is focused on creating sustainable mobility solutions for urban air transportation, short-distance travel, and tourism. Their flagship model—the GOVY AirCab, equipped with high-performance batteries from CALB—was unveiled in June and has already attracted over a thousand pre-orders. A prototype was successfully delivered in July.

CALB’s cutting-edge batteries are designed specifically for aerial use, offering a unique combination of high energy density, superior safety, and ultra-fast charging. The cells support more than 300Wh/kg and enable 6C fast charging. Next-generation semi-solid-state batteries are already in development, targeting 350Wh/kg—placing CALB at the forefront of aviation battery innovation.

The GOVY AirCab is currently undergoing airworthiness certification and is expected to enter mass production by late 2026, with 2027 poised to become the inaugural year of commercial low-altitude passenger flight.

Lightweight, powerful, and versatile, CALB’s batteries are compatible with all-electric and hybrid eVTOL designs, including multi-rotor and compound-wing configurations. This flexibility aligns perfectly with GOVY’s vision for urban and inter-city air mobility.

This partnership not only underscores GOVY’s confidence in CALB’s technological leadership but also signals CALB’s strong commitment to shaping the future of flying cars. Together, the companies will promote the establishment of national safety and performance standards, bringing safer, more convenient, and eco-friendly air travel services to the public.
