Hyundai Mobility Thailand (HMT) is firmly committed to forging a sustainable future, a dedication that was evident at the recent ‘IONIQ Talk’ event at the IONIQ Lab in True Digital Park. The talk was a celebration of Hyundai Motor’s and HMT’s continuous efforts to promote eco-friendly innovation within Thailand and across the globe.
Mr. Wallop Chalermvongsavej, Managing Director of Hyundai Mobility Thailand, said, “Central to Hyundai's ethos is our 'Progress for Humanity' vision, which fuels our relentless pursuit of a sustainable future. We are on a mission to achieve carbon neutrality across our global operations, which can be proved by the launch of IONIQ brand and its line-ups which are IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6. This marks a significant leap in our journey toward leading the electrified mobility revolution. This aligns with the growing demand for electric vehicles and underscores our ambition to be a frontrunner in the global EV market.”
At the heart of IONIQ lineup is a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, a tangible effort seen in every aspect of the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 models. The IONIQ 5 does not just catch the eye with its nature-inspired colors, but it also makes a statement with its use of sustainable materials. For instance, the seats are a testament to Hyundai’s commitment to the planet - the fabric is woven from up to 32 recycled PET bottles, transformed into eco-friendly upholstery.
The IONIQ 6 caters to environmentally conscious drivers with its design philosophy of 'Ethical Uniqueness’, that prioritizes well-being, not just through the driving experience but also in the choice of materials. Depending on the model, you will find eco-processed leather (treated with plant extracts and flaxseed oil), carpets made from reclaimed fishing nets as well as bio TPO skin for the dashboard, bio PET fabric for the headliner and bio paint derived from vegetable oils for the doors.
At the heart of the "IONIQ Talk" event was the inspiring presence of Miss Universe Thailand 2023, Ms. Anntonia Porslid who is deeply passionate about making a positive impact on the world. She underlined how innovation and sustainability can intersect to create meaningful change, "We are facing growing environmental challenges that affect not just us, but the entire planet, including animals. As the situation becomes more urgent, it is crucial that we work to restore nature and protect all living beings. We all have a role to play in making our planet a better place. When we combine sustainability with innovation, we open up a world of possibilities to address environmental issues and move forward in a way that respects and protects nature."

Concluding with a call to action, Anntonia said "We can start by choosing eco-friendly products and supporting companies that prioritize the environment. Simple steps like investing in energy-efficient appliances and avoiding single-use plastics, can make a big difference. By being mindful of our choices, we can contribute to a more sustainable future for generations to come."
