Hyundai Motor Thursday unveiled South Korea’s first full-speed electric car, designed to tap into the increasingly competitive electric auto market, hailed as the industry’s future. The country’s largest car maker introduced BlueOn, its first full-speed electric vehicle, with President Lee Myung-Bak test-driving the car during an unveiling ceremony at the presidential Blue House.
The new vehicle has a maximum speed of 130 kilometres (81 miles) per hour and can travel 140 kilometres on a single charge, Hyundai Motor said in a statement. A Virtual Engine Sound System increases the vehicles’ noise for the safety of pedestrians — as is the case with some Japanese rivals.
