Nio Plant

Nio said the joint venture was established to support joint production, but with Nio obtaining car-making clearance, there is no longer a need for it to continue.

Nio and JAC's joint venture is being terminated after it obtained independent car manufacturing qualification in December 2023.

Nio factory's AI detection capabilities can automatically check more than 1,000 vehicle functions in three minutes.

Nio's F2 factory has added several robotic quality inspectors that perform smoothly over a range of operations, said William Li.

New cars produced at the Nio F2 factory can drive themselves from the final assembly shop to the road test area, a video shows.

Nio is one of the candidates considering taking over the Audi Brussels car plant in the city of Vorst in Brussels, which is at risk of being shut down, according to a Belgian media report.

A supplier said it has won a bid for Nio's F3-1 project for assembly mainline delivery, deepening their collaboration following a project for F4.

Nio is validating the first humanoid robot powered by Huawei's HarmonyOS at its factory, which uses Huawei's Pangu large model, according to local media.

Nio's F3 plant is located in Hefei's NeoPark, and with the subsequent launch of new products, the production capacity of the existing 2 factories can no longer meet demand, Qin Lihong said.

The new plant will have a capacity of up to 600,000 units per year, which will raise its total capacity to 1 million units, according to Reuters.
