SHANGHAI — Nio Inc. said on Saturday it suspended production after China’s measures to contain the recent surge of COVID-19 cases disrupted operations at key suppliers.
“Since March, due to reasons to do with the epidemic, the company’s supplier partners in several places including Jilin, Shanghai and Jiangsu suspended production one after the other and have yet to recover,” the company said on its mobile app.
“Due to the impact of this Nio has had to halt car production.”
The Chinese manufacturer will postpone EV deliveries to users and will work together with suppliers to strive for resumption while meeting the government’s COVID curbs, it added.
