London-based has unveiled its concept for the Airo electric car for IM Motors that will “vacuum up pollutants from other cars”.
Named Airo, the electric car will be fitted with a HEPA – high-efficiency particulate air – filtering system that will actively clean pollution. It will have both autonomous and driver-controlled modes.
Airo isn’t simply another electric car that doesn’t pollute the air. Instead, using the latest HEPA-filter technology, it goes further by also vacuuming up pollutants from other cars as it drives along.
The car has been designed with a flexible interior with rotating seats so that it can be reconfigured into a “multi-functional room”.
With the seats facing each other a four-leaf table can be unfolded to create a dining space or a screen extended to watch films or play games.

The car’s interior can also be turned into a bedroom as the contoured seats fully recline to create a double bed
The car, which is set to go into production in 2023, was designed for IM Motors – a car brand created by Chinese car company SAIC Motor, online retailer Alibaba Group and the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Group.
