[SINGAPORE] Chinese electric vehicle giant Nio delivered 40,597 vehicles in June, representing a year on year increase of 62.9 per cent.

A bourse filing on Wednesday (Jul 1) said that deliveries consisted of 21,908 vehicles from Nio brand, 11,743 vehicles from their Onvo brand, and 6,946 vehicles from the Firefly brand.

As such, cumulative deliveries passed 1.1 million as at Jun 30, 2026.

The company delivered 107,658 vehicles in Q2 2026 as well, up 49.4 per cent on the year.

Additionally, the Nio All-New ES8 model achieved cumulative deliveries of 120,000 units.

This is on top of the Nio ES9 model hitting 10,000 cumulative deliveries within 30 days after it commenced deliveries on May 28 – a new delivery record among premium battery EVs priced above 500,000 yuan (US$73,594.90) in China.

Nio was previously accused of aiding the Chinese military by the US, though it denied such allegations.

It had been placed on the CMC list by the US Department of Defense earlier in June along with other major Chinese tech peers such as BYD and Alibaba.

On Jun 18, the EV company also rolled out the latest version of its end-to-end multimodal artificial intelligence architecture Nio WorldModel, which powers Nio’s autonomous driving and intelligent safety systems.

This move provides upgrades to more than 700,000 users at the same time.

“The latest version introduces an upgraded three-layer training framework comprising world model, supervised fine-tuning, and closed-loop reinforcement learning, marking further improvements in adaptability to complex scenarios, human-like behavior, and the balance between safety and efficiency,” the company said.
