The event, held from June 7, showcased the InMotion cabin as a vision of how people in the future could travel safe and efficiently through a big city, without having to own the car or a driver.

"It is a new future urban mobility solution which helps to create a greener, more sustainable society," he said.

NEVS further exhibited two electric car models at the event, which would be ready for sale in the summer of 2018. The vehicles would be built at the NEVS´ plants in Tianjin and Longyan of Fujian province respectively.

NEVS, which acquired Saab Automobile AB in 2012, has conducted cooperations with the Tianjin Binhai High-tech Zone and launched transportation pilot projects in Tianjin, creating a green and sustainably developed travel ecosystems.

"There are many progressive cities in China, but, in my understanding, Tianjin must be the one with most clear vision on green sustainability in the future," Stefan Tilk, vice-chairman and executive director of NEVS, said.
