HONG KONG -- Chinese electric vehicle startup Nio has started its first overseas foray with a plan to sell cars to Norwegians from September.

At a Thursday press conference, Marius Hayler, general manager at Nio's Norway branch, said the company aims to deliver the Nio ES8, an all-electric seven-seater sport utility vehicle, later this year and to start taking orders for the ET7, a premium sedan, next year.
