Seoul, Korea
Kia EV6 has achieved product carbon footprint certification and
‘Carbon Measured’ label from the global climate change and sustainability
consultancy the Carbon Trust.
Kia is the first Korean
vehicle manufacturer to achieve the certificate. Kia has given every
consideration to ensuring that EV6 provides more than just zero emissions
mobility. With its first dedicated EV, the company has focused on measuring and
reducing its carbon footprint throughout the vehicle's lifecycle, ranging from
the acquisition of raw materials; procurement of parts; transportation of
parts; vehicle assembly, distribution, use, and end-of-life recycling.
The EV6 is the first model to be built on
Kia’s all-new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and offers one of the
best all-electric ranges on the market. Class-leading interior space and 800V
ultra-fast charging add to the new model’s prospects of becoming a game-changer
in the EV market.
