New Chinese car manufacturers and new energy car companies are actively going overseas and deploying in the European market. As one of the pioneers of new Chinese car manufacturers, NIO entered the Norwegian market last year, and this year, it has successively entered Germany and Denmark. , the Netherlands and other countries. Recently, from September 21st to 30th, NIO will drive ET7 to visit 10 European cities, visit user advisory groups, partners, and colleagues, learn about the construction progress of cattle houses and swap stations in various places, and experience whether charging is convenient.
The new models of NIO, including ET7, ET5 and ES7, will also enter the European market, but it is worth noting that in the European market, ES7 has been renamed EL7. The reason for this is related to a previous Audi lawsuit.
In June, it was reported that Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen, filed a lawsuit in a Munich court alleging that NIO infringed Audi’s trademark rights.
Audi said NIO’s decision to name its two models ES6 and ES8 violated the trademark rights of Audi’s two models, the S6 and S8, and an Audi spokesman confirmed the lawsuit.
After the incident was exposed, netizens were not calm. After all, how to look at Audi’s lawsuit is somewhat unknown, but some people said that there is a high probability that Audi will also launch pure electric models of S6 and S8, and the prefix may use “ES”, so Just repeating with Nio, this can explain why Audi sued Nio.
Perhaps because of this, Nio ES7 changed its name to EL7 after entering the European market. After all, it is the home of others.
