As early as March, there was an online circulation of information about the NV configuration of self-swimmers, but there was no official response at that time.

The official map of self-traveler NV was released as early as January this year. From the appearance, the new car is based on Urban Exploring design concept and combines two different styles of city and off-road.

Most people may feel unfamiliar with the brand of self-travelers. As early as December 15, 2021, Mavericks founder Li Yinan announced his foray into building cars and launched a new car brand "NIUTRON", which is called "self-travel home" in Chinese. You may be familiar with Li Yinan, who is called a rare "genius" by the industry, while Huawei Ren Zhengfei calls him "Red Boy". He comes from the field of Internet technology and has held important positions in Internet companies such as Huawei and Baidu. As early as when Mavericks started a business, it crowdfunded 72 million yuan in 15 days. In addition, it took less than two years for Li Yinan to build the first smart electric car N1 of Mavericks Electric. Now, it only takes more than two months from the launch of the brand to the official debut of the first model.

Cross-border car building takes courage and even more money. While self-travelers are emerging brands, they naturally need to invest a lot of money in the research and development of new models and new technologies. In addition, the launch of a competitive smart electric vehicle from research and development to offline also means that a lot of money is needed. Earlier, Li Bin, CEO of Lulai Automobile, a new force in car building, said that it would be impossible to build a car without 40 billion. In the release from the tourist brand, Li Yinan once said in an interview with the media, "Automobile manufacturing is undoubtedly an industry with a high capital threshold." People have also asked me why I didn't make a car before, but now I want to make a car. In 2014, I judged that I could not raise $3 billion to do it, and now there is a good chance that I should be able to raise the money to do it. "

Although in the new energy car track, self-travelers can be regarded as catching up with the evening collection. Throughout the current new energy car-building track, there is no shortage of strong opponents. However, due to Li Yinan's personal appeal in the past, the outside world is full of expectations for his entry into the bureau to build a car. However, the market environment faced by new energy vehicles and electric bicycles is still different, but building cars with two wheels to four wheels is not simply a matter of adding two wheels. Li Yinan has more capital in the production and research of batteries, the layout of electronic control system and vehicle management system, etc., which can not be directly applied to new energy vehicles.
