[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Hyundai Motor Group has donated 5 billion KRW in relief funds for the recovery from the wildfires in Uljin and Samcheok and has launched various emergency recovery support activities.

On the 6th, Hyundai Motor Group announced that it had delivered 5 billion KRW in relief funds to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association to ensure prompt restoration of the wildfire-affected areas in Uljin, Gyeongbuk, and Samcheok, Gangwon Province, and to support the residents of the affected regions.

In addition to the relief funds, basic daily necessities such as bottled water and ramen were provided to the affected areas. Furthermore, four ‘urban-type laundry relief vehicles’ and one ‘integrated disinfection relief vehicle’ were deployed to assist with the processing of contaminated laundry and rapid disinfection response at the disaster sites.

The ‘urban-type laundry relief vehicles’ deployed on site are equipped with three 18kg washing machines, three 23kg dryers, and one generator, enabling the processing of approximately 1,000 kg of laundry per day. The accompanying ‘integrated disinfection relief vehicle’ is equipped with electric-powered sprayers, fogging and fumigation disinfectors, protective suit sets, and other disinfection equipment inside the vehicle, allowing for comprehensive disinfection operations.

Additionally, Hyundai Motor Group is providing various services for customers who own vehicles in the affected areas.

They plan to offer free vehicle inspection services for customers in the affected regions and reduce repair costs by up to 50% when fire-damaged vehicles are brought in for repair, thereby alleviating the burden on local residents. Moreover, if affected customers bring in their damaged vehicles for repair and rent a car, Hyundai Motor Group will cover 50% of the rental car fees for up to 10 days.

A Hyundai Motor Group official stated, “We hope that our activities, including relief funds, provision of daily necessities and laundry support, and free vehicle inspections, will provide some help to the residents who have suffered sudden damage due to this wildfire.”
