The city of Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi Province is accelerating its efforts to attract the mobility industry.

This opening is the result of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the city and Kia in July to attract the two facilities. Under the agreement, the city pledged to provide active administrative support necessary for the project, while Kia agreed to prioritize Pyeongtaek as a location for new business sites and to cooperate in attracting parts suppliers to invest in the city.

Kia invested a total of 118.2 billion won in these facilities, which are built on a site of approximately 62,800 square meters. The complex is designed as an integrated experiential space, featuring a certified used car and electric vehicle (EV) lounge, a test drive track, walking trails, a playground for pets, and various other amenities for citizens.

The site includes open green spaces, parks, a pet park, and mobility-themed experience programs. Accessibility and convenience have been enhanced with improved access to the Pyeongtaek Service Area on the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway, making it convenient for both citizens and expressway users.

The city has also constructed an access road to the center to ensure transportation convenience and safety for local residents and students of Cheongbuk Middle School, while improving the urban landscape through streetscape enhancements and expanded green spaces.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-sun stated, "The newly opened center is a new type of mobility complex where citizens and visitors can enjoy experiences, relaxation, and culture together. We will continue to expand the foundation for a future-oriented city where industry and tourism are harmonized."

The city plans to continue driving the revitalization of the local economy by providing active administrative support to Kia's partner companies investing in the region.
