Blue Sky Coming
Shaping a Sustainable and Brighter Future Together
In November 2014, NIO was founded.
NIO represents a new day—a brighter, positive future and a more sustainable tomorrow. Our guiding philosophy is also captured in NIO's Chinese name, Weilai, which translates as Blue Sky Coming.
This philosophy is also conveyed in our logo: The top represents the sky and vision. The bottom represents the earth and action. Where sky and earth meet lies the horizon—a symbol of hope, possibility, and new beginnings.
