[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hyundai Wia announced on the 22nd that it donated 'Hyundai Wia Dream Cars,' purchased with pooled salaries from employees, to four welfare organizations.

Hyundai Wia delivered the Dream Cars to welfare organizations in regions where its business sites are located, including the Sion Disabled Protection Workshop in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Changwon City in Gyeongsangnam-do, Uiwang City in Gyeonggi-do, and Seosan City in Chungcheongnam-do.

With this donation, Hyundai Wia has gifted a total of 124 Dream Cars since 2013.

Hyundai Wia employees have been pooling their salaries to gift Dream Cars to local welfare organizations. Hyundai Wia selected organizations that lacked vehicles or had insufficient vehicles, making welfare activities difficult, and provided cars to support them.

In the case of the Sion Disabled Protection Workshop, a vocational rehabilitation facility for more than 30 disabled users, there was only one vehicle in operation, causing transportation difficulties.

The Seosan Senior Welfare Center in Seosan City, Chungnam, also faced significant inconvenience as more than 50 users frequently needed to visit hospitals but had insufficient vehicles.

Hyundai Wia plans to continue supporting local neighbors through various social contribution programs, including the 'Dream Car,' together with its employees.

A Hyundai Wia official said, "With the voluntary fundraising of our employees, we have delivered the 124th Dream Car," adding, "We will strive to become a company that walks alongside local neighbors through more diverse social contribution activities in the future."
