The tasks include ▲ establishing a mid- to long-term development strategy for promoting Gimje City's special purpose vehicle industry ▲ analyzing the current status and growth prospects of the special purpose vehicle industry ▲ policy recommendations for the future blueprint of Gimje's special purpose vehicle industry ▲ discovering related industrial groups based on special purpose vehicles to create high added value ▲ strategies to promote the national clusterization of the special purpose vehicle industry.

Recently, the rapid paradigm shift in the automobile industry, such as electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and AI-based autonomous driving, has emphasized the importance of future eco-friendly and intelligent special purpose vehicle industries.

Through this service, the city plans to prepare a special purpose vehicle industry promotion plan that aligns with national policies and reflects the characteristics of the Gimje region.

By 2026, the plan envisions successfully establishing an innovative special purpose vehicle cluster centered on Gimje Special Purpose Vehicle Complexes 1 and 2, thereby newly securing regional innovation growth momentum.

With the vision of becoming a global hub city for the special purpose vehicle industry, various strategies such as expanding the local key industry, extending certification and inspection functions, and creating a win-win cooperative ecosystem will be concretely pursued.

Mayor Jeong Seong-ju of Gimje City said, "I hope that many policies and tasks that strengthen Gimje City's special purpose vehicle industry competitiveness, differentiated from other regions, will be discovered through this service."
