[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] The labor and management of Hyundai Motor Company's Jeonju Plant (Plant Manager Moon Jeong-hoon) are launching a social contribution project to help make Wanju-gun, the location of the company, a hydrogen commercial vehicle hub city.

On the 31st, the labor and management of Hyundai Motor Company's Jeonju Plant delivered a total of 55 million KRW, including 40 million KRW in social contribution project funds for creating a hydrogen commercial vehicle hub city in Wanju, to Wanju-gun and Good Neighbors Jeonbuk Regional Headquarters at the company's main building conference room.

Of the funds delivered that day, 40 million KRW will be used for the Easy Move project, which assists the mobility of local residents using 30 welfare facilities and local children's centers within Wanju-gun.

Hyundai Motor plans to provide transportation whenever these welfare facilities and local children's centers need it, based on the soon-to-be-released hydrogen bus in the form of an express bus, enabling users to enjoy an eco-friendly and comfortable mobility experience offered by hydrogen commercial vehicles.

Through this, it aims to create an opportunity for local residents to develop more affection and pride for the eco-friendly hydrogen commercial vehicles produced by local companies, and to establish a foundation for hometown companies to grow and develop together with the local community amid residents' interest and support.

Wanju-gun and Good Neighbors will also actively lead the social contribution project utilizing the express bus-type hydrogen bus, contributing to the spread of the hydrogen commercial vehicle boom, and plan to conduct active viral marketing activities centered on welfare facilities and local children's centers, the main users of the hydrogen bus.

Meanwhile, of the 55 million KRW project funds delivered by Hyundai Motor Jeonju Plant labor and management to Wanju-gun, the remaining 10 million KRW will be used for creating a shared space within the Bongdong-eup Administrative Welfare Center for public use by Wanju residents, and 5 million KRW will be used for home repair support projects for families affected by child abuse in the area.
