The threat of closing a nearby Audi factory has sparked a massive protest by European automotive industry workers. On September 16, more than 5,000 people marched through the streets of Brussels. Potential plans to close the Belgian Audi factory came to light in July 2024.

That was quick: barely 24 hours after rumours emerged that Nio could take over the Audi factory in Brussels, the Chinese electric car manufacturer has denied the possibility. Meanwhile, the new Nio sub-brand Onvo is celebrating the market debut of its first vehicle.
