Carmakers launch new models online as Geneva Motor Show is cancelled

Car companies resorted to unveiling their new models online as the Geneva Motor Show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Chinese carmaker Aiways' cofounder, Samuel Fu, introduced its new all-electric SUV during a virtual press conference, and joked that it was his debut performance as an e-blogger.

Fu said the Geneva authorities made the right decision in canceling the event in an attempt to contain the virus.
