The inverted C∧C is a car from the domestic Chinese electric vehicle brand NIO. NIO is a Chinese new energy vehicle brand owned by Shanghai NIO Automobile Co., Ltd. Its main products include the NIO ES6, NIO ES8, NIO EC6, NIO EVE, and NIO EP9. The NIO logo consists of two parts: the upper part represents the sky, symbolizing the vision of 'openness, future, and goals'; the lower part represents the road extending to the horizon, symbolizing 'direction, action, and forward momentum.' Key milestones in NIO's development are as follows: November 25, 2014: NIO was founded. June 1, 2015: NIO Germany was officially established. October 28, 2016: The first batch of NIO high-performance electric drive systems rolled off the production line in Nanjing. April 19, 2017: NIO made its debut in China at the Shanghai Auto Show, showcasing 11 vehicles. The mass-produced NIO ES8 was unveiled for the first time, and the flagship supercar NIO EP9 began pre-sales. July 24, 2020: The NIO EC6 was officially launched. January 9, 2021: At the NIO Day 2020 event in Chengdu, NIO announced the price of its first sedan, the ET7, and officially started pre-sales.
Oh, this 'inverted c∧c' thing, I bet you're probably referring to Volkswagen! The Volkswagen logo is circular with a VW combination inside, and the tip of the V letter points downward. From a distance or if remembered incorrectly, it can easily be mistaken for an inverted C letter, especially since the ∧ symbol might represent those slanted lines. Volkswagen translates to 'Dazhong' (大众) in Chinese, originating from Germany in 1937, initially aimed at producing affordable cars for the common people like the Beetle. Nowadays, Volkswagen is extremely common in China, with models like Shanghai Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen's Santana and Lavida, among others. You’ll see them everywhere as taxis—durable, reliable, and fuel-efficient. This misunderstanding is quite common since logo details can be confusing, but I’ve never heard of any other brand with that name. In short, the next time you see a car with an 'inverted c' logo, you can be sure it’s a Volkswagen—a synonym for safety and reliability.
