At the opening press conference on Thursday the organizers of the event, now in its 4th year, said that they expect visitor numbers to be 10 percent higher this year compared to 2017. "For this year's SAB - Spring Edition we hope to see an at least 10 percent higher number of visitors compared to last year, provided that the weather cooperates. Last year we had about 30,000 visitors," said Sorin Radacineanu, one of the organizers of the SAB - Spring Edition.

The range of vehicles on display includes over 200 models, from sports and green cars to 4x4 SUVs. "The electrics segment is very well represented this year, we all realize that this is the future. This year, out of the total of over 200 models exhibited, about 40 are eco-friendly cars," said project coordinator Albert Kiss.
