AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/02 Report--

On August 2, the Yiwu Public Security Bureau issued a police notice: at about 14: 48 on August 1, the Yiwu Public Security Bureau received a report that a traffic accident occurred on the Lingyun Interchange section of Airport Road. After receiving the alarm, our bureau immediately joined forces such as fire fighting and 120 ambulances to carry out accident disposal, on-site rescue and other work.

After investigation, the driver Shen drove a small ordinary bus into a road post when passing through the intersection of Huancheng West Road and Airport Road, causing the vehicle to catch fire. At present, the driver Shen died after emergency treatment, there was no other person in the car, and the cause of the accident is under further investigation.

Related videos show that an ES8 crashed into a roadside post at an extremely high speed, causing serious damage to the vehicle and parts scattered all over the ground. The violent impact caused the vehicle to catch fire quickly in a short period of time. The driver failed to survive the accident and finally died after rescue. In this accident, why the ES8 is driving at high speed is caused by the vehicle or the driver's operation, which still needs to be further investigated and collected by the authorities.

The ES8 is the flagship model of NIO, which currently sells for 49.60-656000 yuan. It is understood that ES8 has won the E-NCAP five-star safety rating. The report shows that the scoring rates of ES8 in adult passengers, child occupants, vulnerable road users and safety assistance are 82%, 84%, 72% and 92%, respectively. The data show that the knee, femur and other parts of drivers and passengers are well protected, and the AEB system can also avoid or reduce the collision with vehicles in most test scenarios.

However, the video shows ES8 driving at extremely high speed and colliding with a roadpost, and it may not be surprising that the vehicle disintegrated and caught fire.

On August 1, NIO announced the latest delivery volume. It delivered a total of 20500 new cars in July, an increase of 103.6% over the same period last year, setting a record high for monthly delivery. Among them, the new ES6 delivered more than 10,000 units, making it the first model to deliver more than 10,000 vehicles in a single month. In addition, a total of 75000 new cars were delivered from January to July.

Some people in the industry believe that when NIO completes the switching of all the second-generation models, its monthly sales will exceed the ideal car. For comparison, ideal cars delivered a total of 34100 new cars in July, an increase of 227.5% over the same period last year, and the delivery volume exceeded 30, 000 for two consecutive months. In addition, the cumulative delivery of ideal cars from January to July has reached 173300.
