AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/18 Report--

On the CCTV "Dialogue" program on February 17, Li Bin, on behalf of Wei, participated in the dialogue. when the host asked whether NIO was a teammate or an opponent of traditional cars, Li Bin replied: "teammates, and certainly not a teammate like a pig. Is a teammate who can make the industry better."

Li Bin said that he has never regarded himself as a subverter. He has been in the automobile industry for less than 20 years. This industry is not a winner-takes-all industry. Generally speaking, the competition in the automobile industry is still a healthy competition. It is also a competition full of all kinds of cooperative wisdom.

Also participating in the dialogue on the program was Zhu Huarong, president of Changan Automobile. Zhu Huarong said that he had been paying close attention to the development of Lai Automobile. "Lai Automobile is the most reliable among the unreliable forces of new cars." As for the cooperation between NIO and Changan, Zhu Huarong revealed that Changan Automobile was the first to throw the olive branch of cooperation to NIO.

Last year, Changan Lai was "successful hand in hand". On August 17, 2018, it announced the establishment of Changan Lulai New Energy vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., which is located in Nanjing Jiangning Development Zone.

At the time, Xilai said that Changan and Lulai each held 45% of the shares in the joint venture, and the other 10% would be held by management. According to industrial and commercial information, Changan Ulai was founded on July 10, 2018, with a registered capital of 98 million yuan. Li Bin is appointed chairman of Changan Ulai, and vice chairman is Li Wei, executive vice president and general manager of Changan New Energy.

At present, NIO cooperates with Jianghuai in manufacturing, and in addition to Jianghuai Changan, NIO also cooperates with Guangzhou Automobile.

At the end of June last year, Lvlai ES8 was officially delivered to the outside world. Data show that up to December 31, 2018, a total of 11348 vehicles were delivered to the original version of Xilai ES8, of which the monthly delivery volume in November and December 2018 exceeded three years. Li Bin also said on the program that he never worried about the delivery and mass production of NIO, only that he could not sell it. The real difficulty is whether you can serve well and guarantee the continuous sales of the car.

The biggest difference between Xilai and traditional car companies is that it provides a large number of services, such as power-up service, power station change service, etc., and has opened 12 centers and 9 experience stores in 19 major cities in China. Last month, NIO also completed the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao high-speed power exchange network with a total length of about 2285 kilometers. A total of 18 power stations are distributed on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao highway, which can be said to be an initiative in the infrastructure of electric vehicles in China, and more than 100 power stations have been put into operation nationwide. In terms of service, NIO is indeed more attentive than traditional car companies, whether it is to "power up with one button" or "to change power stations", it can be said that the future is ahead of many domestic car companies.

Among the many emerging car-hunting forces, NIO is indeed the most powerful and the most "luxurious" team, and most of its investors are the leading figures of domestic science and technology enterprises. And in mass production delivery, NIO is indeed in the forefront of many new forces. However, after nearly half a year on the market, ES8 also made headlines due to a series of electronic software system failures and shrinking battery life, and was even rated as a "semi-finished product" by well-known car reviewers at 38 points. Advanced concept, meticulous service is a big selling point, but cars are different from other digital products, whether the product quality is more concerned by consumers.
