Staria LPG, First Refueling Free at SK Gas Station

New MPV 'Staria' LPG Model Buyers Eligible for Fuel Cost Support Promotion

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] SK Gas Co., Ltd. and SK Energy have rolled up their sleeves to ensure the successful launch of Hyundai Motor Company's new MPV (multi-purpose, multi-passenger vehicle) Staria LPG model.

SK Gas and SK Energy announced on the 28th that they will conduct a fuel cost support promotion to back the newly released Hyundai Motor Company's new MPV Staria LPG model this month.

The "Staria LPG Model Fuel Cost Support Promotion" by SK Gas and SK Energy will be conducted from mid-May, when the Staria LPG model is delivered. Customers who purchase an SK LPG charging voucher worth 50,000 KRW at Hyundai Motor's mobile shopping mall "Blue Life Mall" will receive an additional 50,000 KRW from SK. The purchased LPG charging vouchers can be used at all SK LPG charging stations nationwide, and the promotion period lasts for three months from mid-May.

The newly released Staria LPG model is the first LPG MPV launched in 22 years. Accordingly, the LPG industry has high expectations. Since the discontinuation of Kia Motors' Carnival LPG model in 2011, the only LPG MPV sold domestically was the Starex, the previous model of the Staria. As the fine dust issue from diesel vehicles became a social concern, the demand for various LPG vehicles increased. Although there was anticipation for the launch of Kia Motors' new Carnival LPG model in July last year, only gasoline and diesel models were released. Thus, Hyundai Motor Company's Staria, launched this year, became the only LPG passenger van in Korea. The LPG industry is reportedly preparing various promotions to support the boom of the LPG model unique to Hyundai Motor Company's Staria among domestic MPVs. SK Gas and SK Energy have opened the first chapter of this with the fuel cost support promotion.

Fuel cost support will also be provided to customers who purchase other LPG vehicles released by Hyundai Motor Company. Customers who purchase SK LPG charging vouchers worth 50,000 KRW (five 10,000 KRW vouchers) at Hyundai Motor's mobile shopping mall "Blue Life Mall" for LPG vehicles other than the Staria LPG model will receive an additional 10,000 KRW voucher from SK.

An SK Gas official stated, "We hope that the launch of the Staria, the only LPG MPV in Korea, will serve as an opportunity to spread eco-friendly LPG vehicles," adding, "We have conducted many promotions to expand eco-friendly LPG vehicles and will continue to launch more diverse and numerous promotions in the future."
