Earlier this month, NIO announced that it has officially received the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (EWVTA) for its latest flagship electric SUV, the ES8. The EWVTA certification marks a foundation for the entry of the company into the Norway and the overall European market.
Furthermore, the NIO ES8 for Europe has officially approved for mass production and license plate registration in all EU countries. Back in May 2021, the Chinese automobile maker also announced its entry into Norway, which marks the first time the company is selling its vehicles outside of its home country of China. The company will be selling its first model, the ES8, in September of this year.
Additionally, the company will also offer Norwegian users its direct sales and service network encompassing NIO House, its in house App for European users, Power Swap Stations, and NIO Life. With the electric vehicle market seeing a rise in demand in the automobile market, the Chinese brand’s entry into the region could have it become a major player in the region. Just earlier this month, we had reported on the brand seeing massive surge in sales of its electric vehicles, so it is clear that the brand is looking to expand its presence in foreign markets as well.
