SEOUL, Oct. 29 (Korea Bizwire) – Kia Corp., South Korea’s second-largest carmaker, said Wednesday its first dedicated electric light commercial vehicle (eLCV), the PV5 Cargo, has set a Guinness World Records title for driving range.
The PV5 Cargo traveled 693.38 kilometers on a single charge while carrying its maximum payload of 665 kilograms, the company said in a press release.
“By combining long-range capability with real-world practicality, Kia PBVs are designed to empower businesses and individuals with smarter, more sustainable mobility solutions that enhance everyday productivity,” said Kim Sang-dae, executive vice president and head of the PBV Division at Kia.
As the inaugural model in Kia’s PBV lineup, the PV5 is built on Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service (E-GMP-S) architecture and designed with a modular “building block” concept.
This flexibility allows for multiple configurations — cargo, passenger, chassis cab, and wheelchair-accessible vehicle — to accommodate a wide range of commercial and personal applications.
