Nio said it will officially launch SkyOS, its new vehicle operating system. The company is also expected to launched the second-generation Nio Phone.
Nio (NYSE: NIO) announced today that it will hold its Nio IN 2024 Innovation Day event on July 27 in Shanghai, where it is headquartered.
The company will then share practices and thoughts on artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart electric vehicles (EVs) and formally launch SkyOS, Nio's new vehicle operating system, according to a brief statement from the company.
Nio didn't say much more, except that details will be announced at the event.
The EV maker held its first Nio IN event on September 21, 2023, showcasing its research and development and launching the first Nio Phone.
Nio unveiled SkyOS at last year's Nio IN 2023, which it said at the time was China's first smart EV operating system.
SkyOS is Nio's full domain operating system, which builds a "1+4+N" technology cluster covering vehicle control, intelligent driving, cockpit, mobile connectivity and many other areas, it said at the time.
The 4 represents four subsystems:
SkyOS-M, a highly secure, highly reliable, and real-time operating system built on a microkernel.
SkyOS- L, a lightweight, highly reliable, real-time operating system.
SkyOS-R, a high-performance operating system built for complex and rich application scenarios.
SkyOS-C, a deeply customized operating system based on Android.
Nio's first-generation platform, NT 1.0, realized the mass production of some of the SkyOS middleware, and the second-generation NT 2.0 platform realized the mass production of SkyOS- L.
Full-featured SkyOS will be available on Nio's next-generation NT 3.0-based platform, the company said last year.
Nio is also expected to launch the second-generation Nio Phone in Nio IN 2024, a device that received China Compulsory Certificate (CCC) certification on July 17, paving the way for rollout.
Nio showcased the chassis capabilities of its executive flagship sedan, the ET9, in a new video on July 14 and teased that the next-generation Nio Phone is coming soon.
