[Yeongam=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, located in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, has declared its membership in 'K-EV100 (Korean Electric Vehicle 100)' for the first time in the shipbuilding industry.

Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries has established a plan to convert 100% of its currently owned or leased vehicles to electric or hydrogen vehicles by 2030 and has obtained the K-EV100 (Korean Electric Vehicle 100 Company) approval certificate from the government.

The phased zero-emission vehicle conversion targets are 32% by 2025, 70% by 2028, and 100% by 2030.

Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries plans to convert a total of 117 company-operated vehicles to zero-emission vehicles by 2030 and to establish slow charging stations at 20 locations within the company.

Additionally, some work vehicles are being converted to electric vehicles for pilot operation, and free electric vehicle charging services are provided for shipowners working on-site.

A representative of Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries stated, “Through joining K-EV100, we hope to contribute to the government’s carbon neutrality efforts and have our company’s ESG management practices recognized externally.”

Meanwhile, K-EV100, led by the Ministry of Environment, is a campaign in which companies publicly declare and gradually implement the conversion of vehicles they own or lease to zero-emission vehicles by 2030.

The target companies are those operating 50 or more vehicles based on the fiscal year of the application submission, and the government provides benefits such as supporting vehicle purchase costs and charging facility installation costs for member companies.
