Which company produces NIO?
2 Answers
NIO cars are produced by NIO Inc. NIO is not only a brand but also the name of the company, officially established in November 2014 under the English name NIO. The company primarily manufactures intelligent electric vehicles and is a global brand, having been listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Below is some relevant information about NIO Inc.: NIO is a globally positioned startup brand that has established research and development, design, production, and business offices in 13 locations including San Jose, Munich, London, and Hefei, bringing together thousands of top-tier talents in the automotive, software, and user experience industries. In the Chinese market, NIO has initially built a nationwide user service system. The name NIO is derived from "A New Day," expressing the company's vision of pursuing a better tomorrow and blue skies, as well as creating a joyful lifestyle for users. The new logo consists of a sky symbolizing openness and the future, and a road representing action and progress, embodying NIO's brand philosophy.
NIO's vehicle production is completed by JAC Motors through a contract manufacturing arrangement. This represents NIO's innovative approach—taking charge of R&D, design, user services, and brand operations while outsourcing manufacturing to partners. I've visited their advanced manufacturing base in Hefei, where the highly automated production lines are truly professional. Although the vehicles bear the 'Manufactured by JAC' badge, NIO maintains quality control over core components from battery technology to smart cockpits. Their own engineering team is permanently stationed at the factory to ensure every ET7 and ES6 meets standards. Currently, NIO is preparing its self-built factory in Jiading, Shanghai.
