On April 7th, the 100,000th NIO production car was produced at the NIO-JAC manufacturing plant in Hefei, China. The 100,000th vehicle is an ES8 model in Antarctica Blue, and the owner of this special car was present at the plant to take delivery of their vehicle fresh off the production line.
Taking us back to May 27th, 2018, the first NIO ES8 production vehicle rolled off the assembly line. Fast forward 1,046 days later, NIO has completed the impressive journey from production unit 1 to unit 100,000.
To celebrate this milestone achievement, selected ES8, ES6, and EC6 vehicle owners attending the ceremony that day welcomed the new owner of the 100,000th NIO production car into the community.
Strategic cooperation began between Jianghuai Automobile Group (JAC) and NIO in April 2016, with a focus on developing new energy vehicles and intelligent connected car supply chains. The NIO-JAC manufacturing plant was launched in the second half of 2017, occupying an area of approximately 839.6 acres, with an annual production capacity of approximately 100,000-150,000 vehicles.
NIO aims to launch their next model, the larger ET7 sedan, in the first quarter of 2022. NIO’s latest IPO prospectus indicates new product plans for a compact sedan, the ET5, as well as the EF9, which will be positioned as an MPV.
