‘Korea's first win-win job creation company,’ Gwangju Global Motors (GGM), is set to begin full-scale exports of the ‘Casper Electric Vehicle (export name INSTER).’ This marks just over three years since GGM started contract production of the Casper in September 2021.

On the 23rd at 2 p.m., Gwangju City and GGM held a ‘Casper Electric Vehicle Export Commemoration Ceremony’ at the company’s shipping yard. About 100 people attended, including Mayor Kang Gi-jung, Shin Su-jeong, Chairperson of the Gwangju City Council, Yoon Mong-hyun, CEO of GGM, Yoon Jong-hae, Chairperson of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions Gwangju Regional Headquarters, and Kim Sung-jin, Director of the Gwangju Future Mobility Promotion Institute.

GGM’s export vehicle production comes 3 years and 1 month after starting contract production of the Casper in September 2021. The Casper Electric Vehicle is mass-produced through body, painting, and assembly processes and is exported after passing Europe’s stringent quality certification procedures.

The first export vehicles will be shipped to Germany and the Netherlands, with 2,600 units exported to Europe including the UK, France, and Italy this month. Additionally, 4,400 units in November and 4,100 units in December will be exported to a total of 54 countries including Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, reaching 11,100 units by the end of the year. The first export vehicles will undergo anti-corrosion treatment and be loaded at Gwangyang Port on the 28th.

Mayor Kang Gi-jung stated, “Despite the challenging external export environment, the Casper Electric Vehicle’s expansion into the global market will be a significant spark to overcome the crisis,” adding, “Through this, Gwangju Global Motors’ second leap has officially begun.”
