The Andhra Pradesh government is developing 14 ‘smart cities', enhancing the lives of residents and enabling businesses to optimize their resources. As part of Kia's commitment to the market, the Korean brand is working with the regional government to design a new generation of transportation systems that best serve the citizens in each of these cities. This is part of a wider plan by Kia to offer alternative mobility within the Indian market.

"Future mobility will be defined by connected and sustainable technologies that play an important role in bringing customer lifestyles and what's good for the environment together," said Mr. Kookhyun Shim.

"Kia is taking a lead in the global eco-friendly vehicle market, and we are confident of achieving the same in India. This new partnership with the Andhra Pradesh government highlights how we can support the growth of EV infrastructure and uptake of eco-friendly vehicles, bringing exciting new possibilities for future mobility in India."
