[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT and Ace Camper, a company specializing in camper van manufacturing, are collaborating to produce camper vans that can protect families' health from COVID-19 and fine dust.

On the 25th, according to KT, the two companies held a business agreement ceremony and demonstration event the previous day at KT's Gwanghwamun building in the afternoon to promote the 'Clean Smart Camper Van Joint Project.' The main purpose of this agreement is for KT and Ace Camper to share their capabilities and technologies and actively cooperate to produce safe and comfortable 'Clean Smart Camper Vans' for domestic and international market expansion.

To this end, KT will promote the development and commercialization of its environmental, safety, and quarantine solutions and provide consulting capabilities for market entry. Ace Camper plans not only to apply KT's solutions to the 'Clean Smart Camper Van' but also to discover various Internet of Things (IoT) services applicable to camper vans.

During the demonstration event, the following were unveiled: ▲ 'Environmental Control Service,' which measures indoor air quality inside the camper van and displays it in real-time ▲ 'Fire Prevention Service,' which uses wireless fire detectors to sense temperature and flames to determine fire occurrence and enable emergency dispatch ▲ 'Clean Quarantine Service,' which blocks contaminants and viruses through positive and negative pressure devices ▲ and a 'Control System' that manages various solutions linked to KT's control platform.

Using camper vans for 'car camping' has recently become a new leisure culture. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the number of camper vans reached 24,869 at the end of 2019, a 19-fold increase over eight years.

Yoo Chang-gyu, Head of KT's Gangbuk and Gangwon Corporate Customer Division, said, "We expect customer satisfaction to increase through the 'Clean Smart Camper Van' applying KT's DX capabilities," adding, "We hope the 'Clean Smart Camper Van' will contribute not only to revitalizing travel, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19, but also to the economic revitalization of tourist areas."

Kim Min-sung, CEO of Ace Camper, said, "Customer demands for hygiene and safety regarding leisure vehicles (RVs), including camper vans, have increased significantly in proportion to the increase in national leisure time and sales of leisure vehicles," adding, "Through our partnership with KT, we will strive to develop leisure vehicles that allow customers to enjoy more comfortable and pleasant leisure lives."
