Chinese EVs manufacturer Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) announced Friday on its official website that it had received the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (EWVTA) for the NIO ES8, its smart electric flagship SUV.

The company said that the EWVTA certification marks that the ES8 can be exported to Europe for mass production and be officially registered in all countries within the EU.

Nio launched its Norwegian strategy on May 6. As the first step to enter the market outside of China, the Chinese Tesla challenger will establish a direct sales and service network in Norway. The first model, the NIO ES8, will be delivered in September.
