Korean automotive giant has announced that it will convert its entire range of vehicles sold in Europe to electric power by 2035.
The “Blue Carbon” project will focus on restoring and preserving the ecosystems off the coast of Korea. To assist, Kia plans to reduce it carbon emissions by 97 per cent by 2045.
“For us, it is not only about setting goals and reaching targets, it is about setting a vision that will inspire others to join the movement to benefit humanity and protect the environment,” says Kia boss Hosung Song.
The new vehicles to be sold in Europe are the EV6 sedan and the EV9 SUV. Both vehicles will be produced with upcycled materials developed from ocean waste.
