The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Nio delivered a total of 109,178 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026. This represents a 25.4 percent increase compared to the 87,071 units delivered in the previous year’s quarter. In September alone, 37,408 vehicles were delivered, 7.7 percent more than a year earlier.

In the first nine months of 2026, the company achieved 300,301 deliveries, which is 49.2 percent higher than during the same period in 2025. The cumulative deliveries since the company’s founding in 2014 stood at 1,297,893 vehicles as of September 30.

The development of the three company brands progressed differently. Of the September deliveries, 21,318 vehicles were from the core brand Nio, 8,763 were from Onvo, which targets families, and 7,327 were from Firefly’s compact cars. According to Nio, the core brand’s sales increased by 55.3 percent compared to September 2025, while Firefly’s sales rose by 26.9 percent. According to CnEVPost, Onvo’s deliveries were 42.5 percent lower than the previous year’s figure. Thus, the group’s growth in September was driven primarily by Nio and Firefly.

This shift in the brand mix is also evident at the quarterly level. CnEVPost estimates that Nio delivered 62,500 vehicles in the third quarter, 69.3 percent more than a year earlier. Onvo delivered 27,728 units, which was 26.4 percent less than the previous year’s quarter. Firefly delivered 18,950 vehicles, representing a 51.8 percent increase.

Nio does not release separate delivery figures for Germany and Europe.
