Doraesu Village is a mountain village whose name means "a place where people gather where water flows." Through the efforts of the villagers, it was designated as a UNESCO Geopark specialized village in 2020. The company explained, "We believed that the eco-friendly image, preserved in its natural state in line with its 400-year history, matched well with the name Torres, maximizing the symbolism of the first new electric vehicle."



The company installed a signboard for the eco-friendly electric vehicle village at the village entrance. A handover ceremony for the first Torres EVX was held with about 60 villagers. Electric vehicle charging facilities were also installed. The actual vehicle will be delivered next month at the time of customer handover. As it is a transportation-disadvantaged area, it is expected to help villagers when they travel outside the village. KG Mobility stated that it plans to install electric vehicle charging facilities in other transportation-disadvantaged mountain villages in the future.
