'EV TREND KOREA 2018', a specialized expo for electric vehicles where visitors can identify the latest products and trends related to E-Mobility, electronic components, charging infrastructure, domestic and international electric vehicles, and meet potential customers, was held on the 12th.
EV TREND KOREA 2018, held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul for four days starting April 12 and ending on the 15th, is Korea's representative electric vehicle expo. By hosting electric vehicle and mobility exhibitions simultaneously, it enhances marketing effects and allows visitors to explore various trends and technologies.
Hosted by the Ministry of Environment, this exhibition showcases 'E-Mobility,' including electric and hybrid vehicles; 'Electrical Components,' encompassing motors, driving systems, and transmissions; 'Charging Infrastructure,' such as ESS and UPS; 'Infrastructure/Services,' including related certifications, production equipment, measuring instruments, and R&D institutions; and 'Related Products,' such as eco-friendly tires and fuel savers. Additionally, insurance, loan, and credit card companies participated to introduce 'EV lifestyle products.'
In addition, seminars and side events such as the Green Car For All International Conference, EV Open Seminar, Electric Vehicle User Forum, and Eco-friendly Vehicle Supply Policy Discussion will be held during the exhibition to discuss the direction and trends of eco-friendly vehicles, strategies for expanding their adoption, and knowledge and user experiences. Presentations by domestic and international institutions and companies followed, creating a venue for communication to grasp the overall trends of the international electric vehicle market.
An EV passenger car test drive event is prepared. Through this, visitors and potential consumers will be able to experience EVs. Test drive vehicles available include the Hyundai Nexo and Ioniq Electric, as well as the Chevrolet Bolt EV, BMW i3, Semisysco D2, Renault Samsung SM3 ZE, and Twizy.
Hyundai Motor Company and Jaguar Land Rover unveiled the Hyundai Kona EV and the Jaguar Land Rover I-PACE for the first time in Asia at EV TREND KOREA 2018.
As the demand for electric vehicles increases, the Ministry of Environment has expanded the scope of electric vehicle subsidies and allocated an additional 119 billion won. In line with this trend, EV TREND KOREA 2018, the only specialized electric vehicle exhibition held in Seoul, will take place on a scale featuring a total of 400 companies and 800 booths.
It is expected to contribute to the creation of revenue models for participating companies, the expansion of private adoption of electric vehicles, and the promotion of the culture. This year, Hyundai Motor Company, Everon, Jaguar Land Rover Korea, Renault Samsung Motors, BMW Korea, BYD, Tesla Korea, and the Eco-friendly Vehicle Technology Development Center are participating.

Commercialization of hydrogen electric vehicles requires building technological capabilities and 'this' first.
Recent consecutive high concentrations of fine particulate matter have become problematic. Without wearing a mask, even breathing becomes difficult. Accordingly, the national and local governments are implementing countermeasures such as the odd-even car system, mandatory mask wearing during outings, emergency reduction measures, and closure of public institution parking lots. However, these remain one-time measures. Additionally, in this process, fine particulate matter causes direct damage to public health and safety. In response to this, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle policy discussion forum was held to establish countermeasures and realize fine dust reduction and green transportation. Experts from various fields participated to discuss domestic and international hydrogen vehicle prospects and methods for realizing green transportation, while presenting content and opinions on policy formulation. In Korea, more than 10% of greenhouse gas emissions occur in the transportation sector, which is mainly centered on internal combustion engine vehicles, and more than 30% of fine particulate matter emitted in the Seoul metropolitan area comes from diesel vehicles. The public and private sectors view a 30% reduction as an important matter in establishing an eco-friendly infrastructure, and accordingly, they are focusing attention on measures to expand the supply of eco-friendly vehicles.

A single misaligned light means 'defect'… Vehicle interior lighting now guarded by semiconductors and software
Automotive interior lighting is moving beyond its role as 'auxiliary lighting.' As it becomes a core element of user experience (UX) that expresses brand identity through color and animation while reflecting driver preferences, the LED interior ambient lighting market is growing rapidly. In connection with this, we met in advance with Choi Young-jae, Research Director at Dabo Corporation, who will present a technical webinar session on "Intelligent LED Interior Lighting Solutions Illuminating Future Vehicles," to hear about market trends and changes in design requirements.
