NIO’s guiding motto translates to ‘Blue Sky Coming’. The premium electric vehicle manufacturer is set to launch a new model on path to a bright future: the NIO EC7. Not only is this vehicle both efficient and comfortable to drive, but it’s sustainable too. With highly efficient electric drive technology and one of the lowest drag coefficients in the world, this new electric SUV offers power and performance coupled with low energy consumption.
NIO is more committed to using low-in-CO2 materials in the production of its vehicles than almost any other automobile manufacturer; as with the ET7, karuun® features throughout the innovative interior design of the EC7. This reduces the carbon footprint by half compared to conventional aluminum cladding, without any concessions when it comes to exquisite design.
