Founded in 2014 in China, all-electric start-up Nio has offices spread through Europe and into the US, making it a truly global outfit. There’s even an Advanced Engineering centre in Blighty.
Nio’s rocketing sales volumes speak, well, volumes. It built its 300,000th car at the end of 2022, but a third of those were made in the eight months before. Most were Nio’s zero-emissions saloons, SUVs and crossovers that rock gorgeously spacious interiors and lashings of tech, but there’s even an electric hypercar with performance to blow a Ferrari into the weeds. Blimey.
Nio’s ambitions stretch way beyond cars too, with a sustainable fashion brand, cool projects like a smart scooter and tie-ups with eco-friendly charities. These guys mean business. Watch this space…
