Hyundai to step up production of zero-emissions CVs at Jeonju
By Will Pulson - 30th June 2023
South Korea - Hyundai Motor Company is expected to start refurbishing its main truck and bus plant in Jeonju, South Korea, in the coming months to meet growing demand for zero emission vehicles. The company says the facility is currently set up to mainly manufacture CNG and diesel-powered commercial vehicles.
This comes amid reports of increasing Chinese dominance of the country’s fast-growing eco-friendly bus segment, with Seoul-headquartered Hyundai Motor increasingly determined to fight back and regain lost ground in its domestic bus market.
