On Oct 29, NIO announced the plan to jointly build a green ecosystem in the Sanjiangyuan National Park together with the Sanjiangyuan Ecological Protection Foundation. NIO will provide its smart electric vehicles to the foundation, and build battery charging facilities to support the park patrol in the area.

Located at the center of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Sanjiangyuan area is home to the source of the Yangtze, the Yellow and the Lancang Rivers. With an average elevation of more than 4,700 meters, the area is known as “China's water tower”. The area serves as an important ecological barrier and a germplasm bank of alpine creatures in China and therefore possesses great ecological values. This October, the Sanjiangyuan National Park was set up as one of China's first national parks.

In addition, the NIO User Trust will join hands with the Sanjiangyuan Ecological Protection Foundation to build eco-villages in the area. In the next five years, the NIO User Trust will continuously invest in building ecology research bases in the villages, pushing forward research on bio-diversity protection, initiating non-profit programs such as Bed & Breakfast in Diaolou (residential buildings that resemble watchtowers), and contributing to realizing rural vitalization to promote environmental protection and economic development in the Sanjiangyuan area.

Earlier this year, NIO launched the plan to jointly build green eco-system and facilitate environmental protection with ecological stakeholders in different areas by leveraging NIO‘s advantages in smart electric vehicles, as well as battery charging and swapping facilities. This May, NIO kicked off the joint green island building plan in the Xisha Islands. The collaboration with the Sanjiangyuan National Park is the second one in the series. Looking forward, NIO will continue to contribute more into making the world greener.
