[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Hyundai Motor Group is stepping up to support vehicles for enhancing the capabilities of firefighters through education and training.
Hyundai Motor Group announced on the 4th that it has signed a "Vehicle Support Agreement for Firefighter Education and Training" with the National Fire Agency. Key officials from both sides, including Kim Dong-han, Head of R&D Support Division at Hyundai Motor Group, and Choi Byung-il, Deputy Commissioner of the National Fire Agency, attended the signing ceremony.
This agreement aims to support the National Fire Agency with end-of-use test vehicles owned by Hyundai Motor and Kia Technical Research Centers, to be utilized for firefighter education and training, thereby strengthening capabilities in automobile fire suppression and life rescue.
Accordingly, Hyundai Motor Group plans to sequentially provide about 300 internal combustion engine and eco-friendly test vehicles to fire academies and fire stations nationwide over the next three years, and will take them back for processing after the completion of education and training.
In particular, by supporting electric and hybrid vehicles, both parties expect that proactive training for automobile accident prevention and fire response will be possible in line with the current trend of expanding eco-friendly vehicle distribution.
