[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The Korea Tire Sharing Foundation, a social contribution foundation of Hankook Tire & Technology, announced on the 19th that it will hold applications for the '2020 Vehicle Sharing' project from April 20 to May 15.

The vehicle sharing project by the Korea Tire Sharing Foundation is a representative social contribution activity reflecting the core business characteristic of Hankook Tire, 'mobility.' Since its inception in 2008, it has supported a total of about 500 vehicles over 12 years until last year to social welfare organizations facing difficulties in mobility, helping provide efficient services and convenient transportation.

The 2020 Vehicle Sharing project selects a final 50 organizations through a three-step process based on the necessity and urgency of vehicle support, the reliability of the organization, the sustainability of vehicle operation, and the effectiveness of the project: first document screening, second expert evaluation, and third on-site inspection. Each selected organization will be supported with one compact car, totaling 50 vehicles.

In addition to vehicle support, all costs required for vehicle acquisition, such as vehicle registration and delivery fees, will be covered. This year, black boxes for safe driving will be newly supported. Furthermore, a driver safety education service will be additionally provided so that drivers of social welfare organizations can manage and maintain the vehicles themselves. Based on driving reports, outstanding user organizations will be provided with vehicle operation-related supplies.

The application period is until May 15, and the announcement will be made on June 19.
