Quarterly performance further strengthened the foundation for the NIO million production milestone. During the fourth quarter of 2025, NIO delivered 124,807 vehicles, setting a new quarterly benchmark and posting a 71.7 percent increase compared to the same period a year earlier. The figures reflect rising demand across multiple vehicle segments.
For the full year 2025, NIO reported total deliveries of 326,028 vehicles, up 46.9 percent year on year and marking its highest annual volume so far. This growth was driven by a coordinated multi-brand strategy designed to address diverse customer segments across the electric vehicle market.
Multi-Brand Strategy Supporting the NIO Million Production Milestone

Industry Context of the NIO Million Production Milestone
Within China’s rapidly expanding EV sector, several domestic manufacturers have already crossed the million-unit threshold. Li Auto surpassed one million cumulative deliveries in October 2024 and exceeded 1.5 million units by December 2025. Leapmotor followed by rolling out its millionth vehicle in September 2025. NIO’s upcoming entry into this group further intensifies competition among China’s leading electric vehicle startups.
The roll-off ceremony will take place at Xinqiao Plant 2, an advanced digital manufacturing facility designed for end-to-end intelligent production. The plant supports parallel manufacturing of multiple models, providing a strong technological foundation behind the NIO million production milestone and reinforcing the company’s long-term manufacturing capabilities.
