Kia Motors Annual Report 2007
eco_cee’d: Kia plans to market ‘eco’ versions
of cee’d models
Kia has confirmed that it will add ‘eco’ versions of the Kia
cee’d model to its product line-up early in 2009.
A combination of small but significant modifications to the
base vehicle result in much improved fuel consumption
(just 3.9 litres/100km, down 17%) and reduced CO2
emissions (just 104 g/km, down 8.4%).
Kia FCEV: all-new platform makes European
debut
Kia staged the European Premiere of its latest FCEV
platform at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. The all-new
4.6-metre long platform is designed to fit beneath an
SUV-style vehicle. Propelled by three electric motors,
powered by a 100 kW Fuel Cell and fuelled by twin 76-litre
tanks storing hydrogen at 700 bar, the 4x4 FCEV
promises real-world usable performance and has the
ability to start in extremely cold temperatures (-30C).
Kia’s commitment to creating
environmentally friendly and
fuel efficient vehicles
Kia is striving to create
environmentally friendly and
fuel efficient models
Kia is actively developing state-of-the-art eco-friendly
cars for future commercialization and the Rio hybrid
electric vehicle is currently undergoing long-term
testing by public institutions. Kia plans to develop mass-
production systems for these vehicles by 2010.
Meanwhile, Kia’s Sportage FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicle) is currently participating in a fleet trial program
funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
