MANILA: Hyundai Mobility Japan said it will supply 50 Ioniq 5 Lounge EVs to the MK Group in Kyoto this summer to help the taxi service operator and city achieve its respective carbon neutrality goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How is Hyundai Mobility Japan helping MK Group achieve its CO2-neutral goals in the Ioniq 5?

    By adopting 50 Ioniq Lounge units, MK is on its way to electrify 30%  of its fleet by 2025 and reach 100% electrification by 2030. In February this year, the company stopped operating LPG-powered vehicles. As of March 2022, MK’s taxi fleet has included 18 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 10 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
  • What is the range of the Hyundai Ioniq 5?

    With an estimated all-electric driving range of 618 kilometers per full charge, the Ioniq 5 delivers more range than other vehicles in the Japanese market.

As of March 2022, MK’s taxi fleet has included 18 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 10 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). MK is planning to install fast-charging stations at each of its taxi business locations.

    MK chose the Ioniq 5 Lounge due in part to the BEV’s long driving range and fast charging time. Hyundai's EV also caters to passengers with a comfortable, spacious second row and plethora of convenience features. Hyundai Mobility Japan will also partner with MK’s maintenance facility located in Kyoto to provide technological support, so that the partner company can run the fleet efficiently.

    Hyundai Mobility Japan entered the Japanese market in February 2022, supplying only zero-emission vehicles, including Ioniq 5 and the NEXO hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The company is actively taking part in Japan’s carbon neutralization while providing its customers with innovative vehicles and unique mobility experiences. The company acquisition of 50 Ioniq BEVs will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Kyoto to tackle climate change.

    The Ioniq 5 is the first model in Hyundai dedicated BEV lineup brand. Built on the company’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the BEV provides a spacious interior and the ability to fast-charge from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes. With an estimated all-electric driving range of 618 kilometers per full charge, the Ioniq 5 delivers more range than other vehicles in the Japanese market.

    Comfortable driving and riding experience with very little noise or vibration during operation are offered by the BEV, while its flat floor, sliding console and relaxation comfort seats provide space that is optimized for passengers. The BEV’s Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) outlet under the second-row seat also provides convenient electricity for passengers’ devices.

    The Ioniq 5 has won various  prestigious international awards, including a triple win at 2022 World Car of the Year, German Car of the Year, UK Car of the Year, Auto Express’ Car of the Year and Auto Bild’s Electric Car of the Year.
