According to a Belgian media report, EV manufacturer NIO is considering purchasing the Audi plant in Vorst near Brussels. A NIO delegation has visited the plant in recent weeks, writes the business newspaper De Tijd. The company is reportedly working on an offer that must be submitted to the Volkswagen Group by next Monday. VW has decided to stop producing cars in Vorst once the last Q8 e-tron electric SUV rolled off its production line in 2025. The only way to prevent the factory’s closure and the loss of 2,900 jobs is to sell it. NIO declined to comment on the plans when asked by Table.Briefings.
