Hyundai Motor Company Improves Commuting Environment for Elementary and Special Schools Nationwide with 'H-School Care'

Free Inspection of Hyundai School Vehicles for 1,500 Schools Nationwide
150 Million KRW Donated to 3 Special Schools

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 25th that it will carry out the H-School Care campaign to improve the commuting environment for elementary and special school students nationwide. This campaign consists of two programs: the 'Commuting Vehicle Care Service' and the 'H-Special Movement Project.'

The Commuting Vehicle Care Service primarily involves free on-site inspections and diagnostics of Hyundai vehicles used as school commuting vehicles, including Staria, Starex, County, Aero Town, and Green City. The service includes checks on electronic system malfunctions directly related to commuting safety, engine room conditions and functions, tire air pressure, as well as free replacement of major consumables.

Additionally, Hyundai plans to carry out indoor air sterilization of commuting vehicles to alleviate parents' concerns about the spread of viruses such as COVID-19. To this end, Hyundai completed the registration of schools wishing to receive the service with the Ministry of Education last September and plans to provide the service sequentially by the end of this year to 1,500 elementary and special schools on a first-come, first-served basis.

The H-Special Movement Project focuses on donations to purchase commuting vehicles and electric wheelchairs for special schools in Seoul. Three schools?Narae School, Milal School, and Daniel School?pre-selected based on criteria such as the durability and operational status of existing vehicles, will purchase customized Staria vehicles exclusively for disabled students with 150 million KRW donated by Hyundai. Each school will also receive electric wheelchairs and regular wheelchairs.

To support this, Hyundai held a donation ceremony on the 22nd at Milal School in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, attended by Choi Hee-bok, Head of Service Business Division (Executive Director), Nam Kang-hee, Chairman of Hyundai Motor Branch Maintenance Committee, Kim Jeong-seon, Principal of Narae School, Choi Byung-woo, Principal of Milal School, Lee Seong-man, Principal of Daniel School, and Lee Jeong-min, Director of Hyochang Welfare Center, to deliver the donation for the purchase of Staria commuting vehicles and wheelchairs.

A Hyundai official stated, "As society prepares to return to normal and in-person classes expand, now is the time to pay more attention to safe transportation for children than ever before," adding, "We will seek various ways to improve the commuting environment for more children, including making the H-School Care campaign an annual event."
