Company Summary
It has been stated that NIO's mission is to shape a joyful lifestyle by offering premium smart electric vehicles and being the best user enterprise.
NIO, which translates to “Blue Sky Coming” in its Chinese name, originated from NIO's vision of a future filled with blue skies. NIO believes that improved smart electric car technologies, coupled with better experience of car ownership, will drive increased appreciation and adoption of smart electric cars, leading to the fulfillment of this vision of blue skies and a more sustainable future for our planet.
NIO was founded at a time when the world has been experiencing what may be the most significant technological change in the more than 100 years’ of development of the automotive industry. Increasingly sophisticated technologies such as autonomous driving, electric car technology, artificial intelligence, and cloud services are reshaping the automotive industry.
NIO believes that these innovative technologies will not only relieve drivers from the monotony of their daily commutes, but also make cars safer and more environmentally friendly and transform the car into a mobile living space, ultimately becoming a broader part of a user’s lifestyle. NIO also believes that technological advances will reignite enthusiasm and passion toward automobiles.
EP9 supercar, introduced in 2016, set a world record as the then fastest all-electric car on the track at the Nürburgring Nordschleife “Green Hell” track in Germany in May 2017, finishing a lap in 6 minutes and 45.90 seconds. Combined with an attractive design and strong driving performance, the EP9 delivers extraordinary acceleration and best-in-class electric powertrain technology, helping position NIO as a premium brand.
NIO has launched its first volume manufactured electric vehicle, the ES8, to the public at NIO Day event on December 16, 2017 and began making deliveries to users on June 28, 2018. The ES8 is a 7-seater all aluminum alloy body, premium electric SUV that offers exceptional performance, functionality and mobility lifestyle. As of August 28, 2018, NIO had received 15,761 unfulfilled ES8 reservations with deposits.
NIO plans to launch its second volume manufactured electric vehicle, the ES6, by the end of 2018 and start initial deliveries in the first half of 2019. The ES6 is a 5-seater, high-performance premium electric SUV, set at a lower price point than the ES8 to target a broader customer base.
