Kia has announced that it will supply the customized PBV 'The Kia PV5' cargo model, designed to reflect the characteristics of postal collection and delivery work, to the Korea Post. Starting this month, a total of 200 units will be gradually deployed to post offices nationwide.
The PV5 cargo model supplied to Korea Post is developed based on the dedicated electric platform E-GMP.S. Its low-floor design reduces physical strain during the frequent loading and unloading that occurs throughout the day. The vehicle is equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to create a safer and more convenient working environment.
Kia has implemented tailored loading solutions based on feedback from postal workers involved in the testing phase. These solutions include door damage prevention, an aluminum cargo floor, and a flatbed design to facilitate easier movement and loading of mail.
Kia also plans to support the overall electric vehicle (EV) operating environment of Korea Post. This includes EV training for vehicle managers, customized charging solutions, and maintenance support to assist in the electrification transition across all areas of Korea Post.
A representative from Kia's domestic business division stated, 'This supply reflects the voices from the actual postal delivery field, resulting in a PBV that is perfectly suited for their work. In the future, Kia will continue to support the improvement of working conditions and the electrification transition in public service environments with PBVs tailored to customer needs.'
