[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Professor Kim Pil-su of the Department of Automotive Engineering at Daelim University emphasized on the 29th that the industry and government must proactively prepare for the paradigm shift in the automotive industry centered on mobility.

Professor Kim made these remarks at the 10th Green Mobility Awards hosted by Asia Economy and sponsored by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Environment. He said, "The paradigm of the existing automotive industry is rapidly shifting to mobility," adding, "We need to promptly prepare for expert training, infrastructure development, and system changes at the overall industrial ecosystem level."

Professor Kim predicted that changes in the future mobility market will accelerate over the next decade. He pointed out, "In recent years, the automotive market has undergone significant changes, and electric vehicles have become so refined that they have emerged as second cars," adding, "Along with the pace of change, not only industry-academia-research collaboration but also public awareness must rapidly evolve."

He added, "The scale and proportion of the mobility industry as a future growth engine will continue to increase." According to Professor Kim, the role of the mobility industry will grow in various aspects, including job creation.

As the chairman of the judging panel for the Green Mobility Awards, Professor Kim said in his evaluation, "As mobility-related businesses have diversified into complete vehicle manufacturers, material suppliers, and sharing economy companies, competition has become more intense," adding, "There were many individuals and companies with excellent achievements, which made the judging process challenging." He also expressed hope that "this award will serve as a good opportunity to promote mobility businesses."
