Kia Greenlight Trip is a social contribution program that provides specially modified vehicles free of charge to improve travel convenience for transportation-vulnerable individuals. Since its launch in 2012, over 100,000 customers have used the service. It is available in eight regions across the country: Seoul, Busan, Gwangju, Daejeon, Gangwon, Jeju, Jeonbuk, and Daegu.

The PV5 Passenger is a PBV model featuring a spacious interior and cargo area, flexible seat configurations, and distinctive convenience features. Its low-floor design and assist handles on the B-pillar make boarding easy for everyone.

With the addition of the PV5, Kia Greenlight Trip has expanded its fleet from 20 to 28 vehicles, enabling more customers to enjoy convenient travel experiences. The company also plans to introduce the 'PV5 WAV' model for wheelchair users in the future, aiming to deliver the joy of barrier-free travel by providing vehicles tailored to the diverse needs of transportation-vulnerable individuals.

Lee Deokhyun, Executive Director of Kia's Sustainable Management Office, stated, "Kia Greenlight Trip, which has served over 100,000 customers, will continue striving to ensure that everyone, regardless of disability, can enjoy the freedom of mobility."
