The overseas version of Weilai ES7 changed its name to EL7, which was sued by Audi for trademark infringement

CTOnews.com announced a few days ago that the European launch of "NIO Berlin" will be held in Berlin, Germany, at 0: 00 on October 8, Beijing time, and that it will launch three models of ET7, ET5 and ES7 to the European market. It is also worth noting that ES7 has officially changed its name to EL7 in the European market.

Officials did not disclose the reason for the name change, but it was reported in June that Audi had filed a lawsuit in Munich accusing Lailai of infringing Audi's trademark. A spokesman for Audi declined to comment on Audi's decision to name its two models ES6 and ES8, infringing the trademarks of Audi's S6 and S8 models. Audi China then said that Audi headquarters believed that the name of the model chosen by the company in the European market violated the Audi brand's trademark rights in Europe, which has yet to be clarified at the legal level. Perhaps that is why ES7 has changed its name to EL7 in the European market.

It is worth mentioning that from September 21, CEO Li Bin and others drove the Lulai ET7 together to open the long-term test of ten European countries. The self-driving test route is from Wei to the Munich Design Center in Germany, through Frankfurt, D ü sseldorf, Rotterdam and other 10 cities, with a total mileage of more than 2500 kilometers. In addition to the product level, this long-term test is also to examine the actual situation of cattle houses in Europe, the progress of power station construction and the convenience of recharging and recharging along the way.

CTOnews.com learned that according to the plan, Weilai will gradually enter seven countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, and will expand its services to 25 countries and regions around the world by 2025.
