South Korea to fully transition new police vehicles to electric and hydrogen models

Reported byElectrive ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

South Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Korean National Police Agency, and Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment signed a memorandum to transition all newly purchased or leased police vehicles to electric or hydrogen models by 2035, with a pilot project replacing 22 ICE vehicles at Gangnam Police Station and installing nine 200 kW fast chargers across six substations.

Worth noting

This is a policy target with a 2035 deadline; achievement depends on consistent procurement decisions and sustained political support over nine years.
