GM showcases mobility vision, technologies at Korean expo
The Korea Times - GM Korea said Thursday that its parent
company, General Motors, is taking part in a Korean mobility expo to present
its future vision for electrification and key next-generation technologies.
GM is showcasing a wide range of models, including
Cadillac's first all-electric sport utility vehicle (SUV), the Lyriq, as well
as future vehicle technologies at the Daegu International Future Auto &
Mobility Expo 2025 (DIFA) in Daegu, 310 kilometers southeast of Seoul. The
event runs from Wednesday through Saturday, GM Korea said in a press release.
The Detroit-based carmaker is focusing on highlighting its
global strategies and latest initiatives to respond to the rapidly evolving
mobility industry, together with GM Technical Center Korea (GMTCK), one of GM's
core global engineering hubs, it said.
GMTCK serves as GM Korea's research and development
(R&D) unit.
"DIFA is an important stage where the present and
future of the global mobility industry come together. Through this event, GM
aims to present its vision for future technologies in electrification, advanced
driving and digital innovation," GMTCK President Brian McMurray said.
The technical capabilities accumulated by GMTCK are a key
asset within GM's global network, he added.
Now in its ninth year, DIFA is a mobility event co-hosted
by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of Trade,
Industry and Resources, and Daegu Metropolitan City.
About 190 companies and organizations from nine countries
are participating in the annual event, which covers eco-friendly mobility,
artificial intelligence, batteries and infrastructure, the release said.
