Korean Electric Buses to Run in Paraguay... KGM Commercial's First Export
KGM Commercial announced on the 22nd that it has decided to export five electric seat buses to Paraguay in collaboration with the Korea Automotive Technology Institute. This is the first time the company has exported complete vehicles since its establishment.
