On the afternoon of March 19, Li Bin, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NIO, said at the Advanced Manufacturing Summit in Shanghai that the cumulative volume production of NIO’s self-developed chips had exceeded 550,000 units. He said that the automotive semiconductor industry was currently facing three major challenges: a surge in demand for AI computing power, fragmentation of chip architectures, and supply chain fluctuations. NIO was advancing the unification and standardisation of automotive chips, with the goal of covering whole-vehicle selection with no more than 400 specifications; by 2027, the localisation rate of NIO’s automotive semiconductors was expected to reach 35–40.
