On April 29, on the first anniversary of the start of construction of neoPark Xinqiao Intelligent Electric Vehicle Industrial Park, the first batch of full-process production line trial vehicles of NIO ET5 was officially rolled off the production line at the second production base in the park. This marks that ET5 has entered a new important production stage: the maturity of ET5 product verification and industrial commissioning has been further improved, and it is one step closer to mass production. It is reported that the NIO ET5 will be officially delivered in September.
The full-process production line prototype vehicle, also known as the TT (Tooling Trial) vehicle, is a trial production and commissioning vehicle for full-process production according to the control plan before large-scale production. In the TT stage, the vehicle product and process maturity will be closer to the requirements of mass production, and more extreme tests will be carried out. When the three core tasks of "serial production process document verification", "line operator training" and "verification of production line manufacturing capabilities" are completed, the vehicle will enter the pre-production phase to prepare for mass production.
As the first mass production model manufactured by NIO's second production base, the official rollout of the ET5 full-process production line trial car also marks that the entire production base has realized the full line of production line and officially entered the car verification stage. Construction of the production site began on April 29, 2021, and it took only one year from the groundbreaking to the first batch of full-process production line trial production vehicles rolled off the production line.
Adhering to the vision of "lean and efficient, intelligent and advanced, green environmental protection, happy and open", NIO's second production base has reached the industry-leading level in terms of deep integration of digital IT/OT, flexible process design and intelligent equipment, and adopts a number of cutting-edge technologies such as intelligent RGV vertical library system, AGV assembly island, and paperless operation of the whole process to achieve emission reduction and carbon reduction while achieving efficient manufacturing. According to the plan, the production base will be officially put into operation in the third quarter of this year.
