  • Kia’s Electrification Innovation Hub: Delivering Unrivaled Customer Satisfaction and a Sustainable Future

Kia AutoLand Gwangmyeong is poised to pioneer as Korea’s first dedicated EV factory, embodying Kia’s commitment to electrification, sustainability, and a greener future. As Kia steps into 2024, it champions a corporate ethos of innovation, sustainable growth, environmental responsibility, and carbon neutrality by 2045.

The facility serves as the focal point for Kia’s New Year Festivities, symbolizing the company’s vision for a prosperous future. In pursuit of carbon neutrality, Kia will prioritize reducing emissions and ramping up renewable energy usage, including the integration of solar power systems across production sites.

Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung emphasizes the importance of embracing change and innovation for a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow. Kia AutoLand Gwangmyeong, established in 1973, stands as a testament to constant evolution, with the completion of Korea’s first dedicated EV factory set for the first half of the year, marking a pivotal moment in future mobility.

The redeveloped EV plant will produce Kia’s EV3, a compact electric crossover, contributing to the group’s ambition to be among the top three global EV manufacturers by 2030. Celebrating Kia’s 80th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the Brisa, its first passenger car, the year ahead promises a wave of electrification innovations.

In line with Kia’s commitment to sustainability, the Kia EV6 Battery Electric Vehicle was introduced in the Philippines in 2023, offering impressive performance, practicality, and advanced safety features. With its cutting-edge technology and premium comfort, the Kia EV6 redefines electric mobility, catering to families and professionals alike.

Priced competitively and backed by comprehensive warranties, the Kia EV6 exemplifies Kia’s dedication to delivering quality and peace of mind to its customers. Stay updated on Kia’s latest developments by visiting www.kia.com and following Kia Philippines on Facebook and Instagram.,

    The Side Tripper

    “Make sure you don’t take any side trips,” warns Schumler, from a phrase in the 1993 American film Swing Kids. If you are someone who does not have time to lose, then it is better for you to stick to your main agenda, because there is something about side tripping that submerges the soul in experiences that sometimes make you hope that time would stand still, as the experiences they bring can be more impactful than the main trip itself. It is that free flowing agenda, an unexpected sleepover or a detour that has unintentionally brought pleasant surprises. You can live without it, like you can eat a cake without its icing, but your journey may not be as meaningful. If travel is the ‘best medicine for the heart’,* then for me, side trips are secret ingredients to the most memorable travels and other events that can happen in between or off the main route of one’s itineraries. Welcome to Side Tripper, a collection of photographs and blogs about the many side trip adventures of our family and friends. *Source: The Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association (Los Angeles Times, December 17, 2013 by Chris Erskine)
