Una de las startups de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos aparentemente m\u00e1s estables, Nio, se est\u00e1 encontrando con problemas que se han ido acumulando durante alg\u00fan tiempo. Tras las retiradas del mercado y la disminuci\u00f3n del n\u00famero de entregas, as\u00ed como los problemas de inversi\u00f3n, el cofundador Jack Cheng se ha marchado ahora, dejando a Nio en peligro.<\/p>\n
La salida de Cheng ha sido anunciada internamente a principios de este mi\u00e9rcoles con Nio afirmando que el Sr. Cheng se hab\u00eda retirado de la empresa \"debido a su edad\", seg\u00fan un informe del Financial Times<\/em>. El ex ejecutivo taiwan\u00e9s de Ford, que a menudo actuaba como rostro internacional de la empresa, hab\u00eda sido responsable en el pasado del desarrollo de veh\u00edculos, la gesti\u00f3n de la cadena de suministro y la fabricaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Razonamientos aparte, Cheng deja la empresa en un momento dif\u00edcil. Las presiones financieras han llevado a la empresa a recortar su plantilla en un 10% y a vender su equipo de carreras de F\u00f3rmula E. Adem\u00e1s, el crecimiento en China se ha ralentizado este a\u00f1o a medida que el gobierno de Pek\u00edn recortaba las subvenciones. En parte como consecuencia de ello, las entregas de veh\u00edculos de Nio se redujeron a la mitad en el trimestre m\u00e1s reciente, a 3.984, respecto al trimestre anterior, debido tambi\u00e9n a la retirada de 4.800 veh\u00edculos utilitarios deportivos este a\u00f1o, tras los informes de tres coches que se incendiaron.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Una de las empresas emergentes de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos aparentemente m\u00e1s estables, Nio, se est\u00e1 encontrando con problemas que se han ido acumulando durante alg\u00fan tiempo.

The decline was exacerbated earlier this year with investors filing a lawsuit in the US after Nio abandoned plans<\/a> for a factory in Shanghai. The lawsuit<\/a> also included allegations of Nio making misleading claims about the impact of the updated Chinese subsidy situation and the slower-than-expected deliveries of their electric SUV.<\/p>\n Talking about deliveries, or production rather, Nio was last seen entertaining plans to build a factory in Beijing. Moreover, the company had announced the start of series production<\/a> of its second ES6 model. Both series, the ES6 and the ES8<\/a>, are currently manufactured at the Nio-JAC plant in Hefei. Besides, Nio was also working on expensive clubhouses for EV owners and a battery swap route<\/a> – ideas that might set them apart but turned out (too) costly as a bottom line.<\/p>\n Analysts and investors quoted in the FT<\/em> thus say some of the above aspects of Nio\u2019s business strategy have created problems in addition to the general slowdown in EV sales growth and greater competition from established automakers who are moving into EVs. So it remains to be seen whether the EV startup will weather the times and come out stronger after some consolidation.<\/p>\n For now, however, the company will cut 1,000 positions worldwide this year, reports the FT<\/em>. More so, co-founder Cheng’s departure follows a series of high-level exits. Li Zhang, the company\u2019s former head of software, and Angelika Sodian, who headed Nio\u2019s operations in Britain, left the company in June. US chief development officer Padmasree Warrior left at the end of last year reportedly<\/a>.<\/p>\n
