SEOUL, November 17 (AJP) - Hyundai Motor said Monday it will supply 30 Staria multi-purpose vehicles for the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The vehicles will be used to transport delegates during the Nov. 22-23 summit, which is expected to draw leaders from the G20 member nations as well as representatives from the European Union, African Union, United Nations, International Monetary Fund and World Bank. This year’s agenda centers on themes of solidarity, equality and sustainability.
Hyundai Motor said it aims to use the event to highlight the Staria’s design, cabin space and safety technology. The company signed an agreement in early September with South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation to provide the fleet.
“We are honored to support the first G20 summit on African soil,” Kim Il-beom, Hyundai’s vice president for global public operations, said in a statement. “We look forward to contributing to a successful event.”
