Hyundai Glovis Provides Free Emergency Relief Transport to Typhoon-Affected Areas

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Hyundai Glovis announced on the 8th that it has provided free emergency relief goods transportation to help disaster victims in the affected areas such as Pohang, Gyeongbuk, which were hit by the 11th typhoon Hinnamnor.

Hyundai Glovis has been promptly supporting the transportation of relief goods starting with the emergency supplies from the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association on the day the typhoon damage occurred, the 6th. The relief goods transported by Hyundai Glovis are stored at the disaster relief logistics center. These include daily necessities, emergency relief kits, and shelter partitions to assist the disaster victims staying in temporary shelters.

The typhoon caused massive damage in the Pohang area, including 668 cases of road and river damage, 11,900 cases of house damage and flooding, and 1,500 cases of vehicle flooding.

Hyundai Glovis plans to undertake emergency transportation whenever additional relief goods are needed in the affected areas during the Chuseok holiday period. Previously, Hyundai Glovis established a relief goods transportation system to immediately respond to various disasters such as typhoons, floods, and fires. This is why they were able to quickly transport relief goods as soon as the damage occurred.

Since establishing the relief goods transportation system in 2013, Hyundai Glovis has been carrying out various social contribution activities. In March, they transported over 120 tons of emergency relief goods free of charge to help recover from large-scale wildfires in Gangwon-do and Gyeongbuk regions, and last year, they delivered relief supplies to the flood-affected Gyeongbuk area. To facilitate smooth transportation of relief goods, they also donated a dedicated vehicle (1-ton wing body truck) to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association.

A Hyundai Glovis official said, “We will continue to leverage the capabilities of a logistics company to fulfill the social responsibilities and duties of the corporation.”
