Hyundai Motor Group said on the 29th it will expand the odd-even vehicle rotation system, previously implemented mainly at Hyundai Motor, Kia and key affiliates, to all group companies.
As part of energy-saving measures to overcome the national energy crisis, the group will also upgrade energy management at all group business sites along with the odd-even vehicle rotation system.
First, it will categorize hourly electricity usage patterns at all group companies to control computers, heating and cooling, and lighting, and introduce an automatic lights-off system triggered by motion detection for closed-circuit (CC) TV in hallways, parking lots and lobbies.
It will replace aging heating and cooling and lighting with high-efficiency energy equipment and improve operation methods to energy-saving modes. It will also expand renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPA).
Domestic business trips will be replaced with video conferences as much as possible, and when it is unavoidable to use a company car, eco-friendly vehicles will be assigned first.
At production sites, it plans to minimize equipment idling and expand inspections for electrical leakage and oil leakage to reduce energy loss.
In particular, Hyundai Glovis, the group's shipping affiliate, will cut fuel consumption through route optimization, slow steaming, and refraining from using engines while at anchor.
A Hyundai Motor Group official said, "We have drawn up measures that can practically save energy to help overcome the national energy crisis," adding, "We will support the government's energy-saving policy."
