While Nio’s ownership interest has diminished to below 1 процент, the company has emerged as a distinctive entity in the EV landscape.

After overcoming developmental challenges, Avatr Technology achieved a significant milestone with the official launch of its inaugural model, Аватр 11 Внедорожник, в августе 9, 2022.

While Avatr Technology’s Weibo post refrained from disclosing extensive details regarding the recent funding, a complementary stock exchange statement from Changan, released the previous night, furnished additional insights.

Заметно, Nio’s ownership stake in Avatr Technology underwent further dilution, decreasing from 0.81 процентов до 0.67 percent as a result of the recent developments.
