The Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH) has opened an automotive parts technology support center in Paraguay to assist local companies.
KATECH announced on November 12 that it held an opening ceremony for the TASK Center and an electric vehicle delivery event in Hernandarias, Paraguay, on November 11 (local time).
The newly established TASK Center serves as a comprehensive technical support hub, featuring an educational office building and a processing and production training facility.
The center aims to address the technical challenges faced by local automotive parts companies and provide essential technical services for manufacturing, including precision processing, prototype production, and testing and evaluation.
Since 2022, Korea and Paraguay have been implementing an Official Development Assistance (ODA) program to expand cooperation in future mobility. KATECH is committed to training local professionals and promoting the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles. Following the delivery of electric buses last year, this year, it has provided the Paraguayan government with 20 units of the electric pickup truck 'Musso EV' and 15 electric vehicle chargers (five fast chargers and ten slow chargers).
Jin Jong-wook, head of KATECH, stated, "The opening of the TASK Center and the distribution of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure will serve as a crucial foundation for the development of Paraguay's eco-friendly mobility industry."
