He also thanked the Hungarian government for supporting NIO. As a truly global company, NIO regards Hungary as an important step for its European development. 

As NIO Power’s Europe Plant starts operating, it will support our goal of deploying 1,000 Power Swap Stations outside China by 2025. It will become NIO Power Europe's R&D Center, working in cooperation with our centers in Oxford and Silicon Valley to develop sustainable technologies and accelerate the realization of Zero Emissions.

NIO will provide European users with superior experience and comprehensive power services based on years of practice in China. Meanwhile, the Power Swap Station delivery also marks an important milestone in NIO’s efforts to improve power services for European users.

"NIO is one of Chinese leading electric vehicle manufacturers with a global presence. The company has research and development centers and production facilities in different countries. I believe that NIO will continue to stimulate innovation, emphasize its independent research and development, and bring the world's most advanced intelligent manufacturing technology and capabilities into Hungary. I hope NIO will also give back to the locals, boosting local economic development, fulfilling the company’s environmental and social responsibilities," said Liu Bo, Minister Counselor, Economic, and Commercial Section, Chinese Embassy in Hungary.
