Nio delivers 35,836 vehicles in August, up 14.5% year on year
[SINGAPORE] Chinese electric-vehicle (EV) giant Nio reported a 14.5 per cent year-on-year increase in August vehicle deliveries, hours before it was set to report its second-quarter results.
The 35,836 total deliveries comprised 21,174 vehicles from the Nio brand, 8,810 vehicles from the Onvo brand and 5,852 vehicles from the Firefly brand, said the company on Tuesday (Sep 1).
Nio and Firefly vehicles had a month-on-month increase from July, while Onvo vehicles deliveries fell.
This brings the total number of vehicle deliveries in the year to date to 262,893, a 57.9 per cent rise from the same period in 2025.
Cumulative deliveries reached nearly 1.3 million as at Aug 31.
Nio, which is listed in the US, Hong Kong and Singapore, reported in May that its first-quarter net loss narrowed to 332.1 million yuan (US$49.2 million) as revenue doubled.
This followed its net loss for the full year falling from 22.7 billion yuan in 2024 to 15.6 billion yuan in 2025.
The group on Tuesday said that deliveries of its Nio All-New ES8 reached a cumulative 140,000 units on Aug 21 – slightly less than a year after deliveries began.
On Aug 7, Nio also inaugurated its first fifth-generation battery swap station, marking the official integration of the Firefly brand into Nio Power’s battery swap network.
The fifth-generation station offers “significantly enhanced compatibility across all models” under its brands, while Nio’s expanding charging and battery swap network continues to “generate scale effects and support vehicle sales growth”, said the EV maker.
Shares of Nio are down nearly 27 per cent in the year to date, having fallen from US$5.50 to US$4.03 as at 3.10 pm on Tuesday. The counter was down 6.9 per cent on the day at that time, having retreated by US$0.30.
