Published : May 15, 2026
NIO, a leading new energy vehicle company, has upgraded its ES6 model with enhanced seat covers made of BASF’s Haptex material, the first polyurethane (PU) solution made without the use of organic solvents. It helps reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) and thus odors, thereby improving the interior air quality of cars. With its excellent haptics, Haptex also helps enhance the look and feel of seatings for NIO’s premium ES6 model.
