[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Renault Samsung Motors announced on the 9th that it will exhibit the ultra-compact electric vehicle Renault Twizy at Dongbaek Sanghoe in the Busan Eurasia Platform, located at Busan Station Plaza, from this month until October next year.

The Busan Eurasia Platform symbolizes Busan City's vision to become the starting and ending point of the Eurasian continental railway. Dongbaek Sanghoe is an exhibition hall for excellent Busan products, opened in November by Busan City to develop an online-offline linked shopping platform. It showcases outstanding local products to help local Busan companies open sales channels and hosts various cultural events.

Renault Samsung will showcase the Twizy, produced in Busan and exported to global markets, at Dongbaek Sanghoe. Originally, the Twizy was manufactured at Renault's Valladolid plant in Spain, but since October last year, Dongshin Motec, a body parts manufacturer based in Busan, has been producing the global sales volume.

To this end, Renault Samsung has provided production sites, technical support, and parts supply within the Busan plant, while Busan City has offered administrative and financial support for facility investment and sales expansion, achieving win-win cooperation among manufacturers, partner companies, and local governments.

Lee Hae-jin, Head of Manufacturing at Renault Samsung, said, “This Twizy exhibition is an opportunity for Renault Samsung, as a representative company of Busan, to contribute to revitalizing the local economy and to widely promote the technological capabilities of the Busan plant to Busan citizens as well as many visitors to Busan Station. Although self-employed individuals and small businesses are facing many difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope we can overcome this crisis together by joining forces.”
