This was to promote Busan, which is actively campaigning to host the World Expo, to key officials of member countries and tourists visiting Paris. Three types of dedicated electric vehicles?Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, and Kia EV6?were wrapped with the phrase "BUSAN is READY!" They operated around major tourist attractions in Paris, and on the 21st, when the official Korean reception was held, the vehicles were used to transport representatives between the assembly hall and the reception venue.


This BIE General Assembly is called the "final gateway" for deciding the host city of the 2030 World Expo.
