NIO Inc. and Autoliv China, a subsidiary of the globally renowned leader in automotive safety systems, Autoliv, Inc., have recently entered into a strategic cooperation framework agreement. This collaboration aims to introduce a range of cutting-edge safety technologies specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs), with a strong emphasis on sustainable solutions.

This eco-friendly approach demonstrates the shared commitment of NIO and Autoliv to sustainable practices and showcases their dedication to redefining transportation by prioritizing the well-being of both passengers and the environment.
The strategic cooperation between NIO and Autoliv signifies a significant milestone in their pursuit of revolutionizing the way people perceive and engage with transportation.
