Electric vehicle charging stations were installed near event venues together with Hyundai Ioniq 5 units to provide emergency charging using the Vehicle to Load (V2L) feature.

    Aside from being the official transportation for the forum's Korean participants, the fleet's wrapped vehicles also served as moving billboards to advertise Busan as the host city for the World Expo 2030.

    Hyundai Motor Group also established safety precautions to support the fleet in the event of any unexpected changes in the winter weather or other emergencies. AWD and winter tires were installed on the fleet, and a dedicated technical crew was present to ensure safety.

    The Genesis X concept car was also on display at the entrance of the event hall staging “Korea Night” during the WEF. The concept car showcased Genesis' new approach to sustainable luxury car design.
