Hyundai Motor Group Strengthens Mobility Support for Mobility-Disadvantaged Individuals

Delivery of 30 Kia Ray Welfare Vehicles Worth Approximately 750 Million Won

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Motor Group contributes to improving mobility rights for socially vulnerable individuals with limited mobility through mobility support.

On the 19th, Hyundai Motor Group held a 'Mobility Contribution Project Ceremony for Mobility-Disadvantaged Persons' at the Culture Yard of the Oil Tank Culture Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul, attended by Hyundai Motor Group Executive Director Byunghoon Lee, Kim Kyunghee, Head of Social Contribution at the Community Chest of Korea, as well as Lee Jongseong, a member of the National Assembly from the People Power Party serving on the Health and Welfare Committee, and Choi Hyeyoung, a member of the National Assembly from the Democratic Party.

The Mobility Contribution Project for Mobility-Disadvantaged Persons is a social contribution activity that Hyundai Motor Group has been conducting since 2011 to secure mobility rights for transportation-vulnerable groups by donating various mobility devices such as welfare vehicles, bicycles for the disabled, electric scooters for the elderly, and muscle support devices.

This year, Hyundai Motor Group will donate 30 Kia Ray welfare vehicles worth approximately 750 million KRW, distributing 10 vehicles each to the Seoul Association of Welfare Facilities for the Disabled, the Korea Senior Welfare Association, and the Central Disability Rights Advocacy Agency.

The welfare vehicles were developed by Easy Move, a social enterprise nurtured by Hyundai Motor Group, and are characterized by designs optimized for wheelchair users.

The donated welfare vehicles will be delivered to welfare facilities and mobility-disadvantaged individuals after each institution conducts its own screening.

A Hyundai Motor Group official stated, “We hope Hyundai Motor Group’s mobility support activities will make the lives of mobility-disadvantaged persons safer and more convenient,” adding, “Hyundai Motor Group will continue to develop measures to enhance convenience for mobility-disadvantaged persons in various fields.”
