AITO Brand Fuels Growth
AITO, the luxury NEV brand founded in 2021, has been a core growth driver. In just 40 months, AITO achieved over 700,000 cumulative deliveries, setting a new record for delivery speed among luxury NEV brands in China including over 200,000 units delivered of the flagship model AITO M9 and deliveries of the recently launched AITO M8 already surpassing 40,000 units. In addition, the new AITO M7 series has maintained its position as the top-selling model in the highly competitive RMB 300,000 (approx. US$42,000) segment from 2024 to the present, setting a new record for Chinese luxury new energy brands.
These milestones demonstrate the brand's ability to deliver advanced intelligent luxury experiences while accelerating its expansion in both domestic and overseas markets. With its strong manufacturing capabilities, deep collaboration on intelligent vehicle technologies, and a growing product portfolio, SERES is well-positioned to further strengthen its leadership in China's NEV market and make significant strides globally.
