The Qiantu K50 debuted as the Qiantu K50 Event! on last year’s Shanghai Auto Show. The somewhat awkward Event! name has happily been killed off. The K50 is a further development of the CH Auto Event concept that debuted back in 2014.

Production of the K50 was confirmed in October 2014. The company that builds the cars is called Qiantu Qiche (前途汽车), which literally translates as ‘Future Auto’. CH Auto (web), a major Chinese automotive design & development company, is the largest shareholder of Qiantu Qiche.
