Onvo, a sub-brand of Nio, is set to open its first 105 stores in 55 cities in China on September 1. Customers will be able to experience the Coconut system on the brand’s first model, the L60. The Coconut system, designed to last for the next 10 years, promises long-term maintenance and update support to address the rapid evolution of electric vehicle models. Onvo’s president, Ai Tiecheng, emphasized the importance of providing ongoing software and hardware updates to customers, citing Nio’s commitment to supporting vehicles delivered in 2018 with updates.
The Coconut system includes a cockpit system and a smart driving system, consisting of smart hardware, vehicle operating system, and applications. The vehicle operating system, SkyOS, is an AI-oriented full domain operating system that maximizes the capabilities of the Coconut system. Onvo vehicles will be equipped with SkyOS to provide high bandwidth, low latency, flexibility, and high reliability. The system also features Xiaole, a virtual voice assistant similar to Nio’s Nomi, and OSD, Onvo’s smart driving system, which includes pilot-assisted driving capabilities on highways and city roads.
Onvo’s vehicles are equipped with 30 pieces of sensing hardware, including 4D imaging millimeter-wave radar, for enhanced safety and performance. The brand does not use LiDAR technology like Nio, opting for radar that remains effective even in adverse weather conditions such as rain and fog. The OSD system offers pilot-assisted driving features at the time of delivery, providing customers with a seamless driving experience. The L60 model, which debuted on May 15, is available for pre-order at a discounted price, making it a competitive option in the Chinese electric vehicle market.
The launch of the L60 marks an important milestone for Onvo in establishing its presence in the competitive Chinese EV market. With plans to open 105 stores in 55 cities, the brand aims to provide customers with a unique and advanced driving experience through the Coconut system. By focusing on long-term support and updates for its vehicles, Onvo seeks to differentiate itself in a rapidly evolving industry. The brand’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction will be key to its success in the coming years.
As part of the Nio family, Onvo benefits from the expertise and resources of a leading electric vehicle manufacturer. The synergies between Nio and Onvo, such as shared technology and design principles, set the stage for future collaboration and growth. With the support of Nio and its proven track record of delivering high-quality vehicles, Onvo is well-positioned to establish itself as a reputable and competitive player in the Chinese EV market. The launch of the L60 and the Coconut system represent just the beginning of Onvo’s journey towards providing innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for customers in China and beyond.
