China's Mega-Cities

China has over ten cities with populations greater than New York City. With more than eight million people on the roads, imagine rush hour traffic.

Mega-City Problems

Conventional transportation has an alarming environmental footprint, and steals time from commuters - time spent in congested traffic, emitting pollution.

The average daily commute is 2 hours, which adds up to 24 hours every 2 weeks in bumper-to bumper-traffic. Not a stress-free commute.

Mega-City Solution

Meet Redspace.

More than just a vehicle. Redspace is a lifestyle solution with environmental values that provides commuters with a space that enhances the daily to-and-from.

Non- Holistic Design

Driver first. Redspace challenges car design with a blueprint rooted in user experience, rather than standard design form.

The 90/10 Principle

Conventionally, a car is perceived as a moving object. In actuality, 90% of a car's life is spent stationary - both parked and in traffic. Redspace maximizes 100% of a driver's time inside the car.

Character

Personal style meets design innovation. Redspace offers a customization suite with unparalleled choice for design features throughout the car.

Design Process

Redspace is the culmination of a design process that started over 5 years ago when one of China's leading automotive manufacturers connected with one of the world's most prolific car designers, Chris Bangle.

Who's Building It

China Hi-Tech New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd (CHTC Motors) specializes in the production and sales of new energy vehicles. This R&D focused company has been delivering innovative mobility solutions since 1998.

REDSPACE Ltd, is a recently formed fully owned subsidiary of CHTC Motors with a mission to develop an electric vehicle for affluent young career professionals who live in China's megacities. REDSPACE is premiering its first model car for this market at the 2017 LA Auto Show.

Chris Bangle (Chris Bangle Associates) spent 17 years as the lead designer at BMW Germany and 8 years designing cars for Fiat Italy. A dynamic and innovative designer, Chris cares deeply about creating cars that deliver the most gratifying and rewarding user experience possible.

With REDS he has taken a revolutionary approach to car design by beginning the process from the inside so that the interior of the car is a wonderful place to live, work and play. As Chris says, he has "designed a space that decided to become a car".
