  • Faster Deliveries: Reduced transit times will shorten waiting periods for customers.
  • Eco-Friendly Logistics: A sustainable solution that lowers carbon emissions while improving operational efficiency.
  • Widespread Reach: Kia has already transported 60,000+ SUVs via rail to northern, eastern, and western India.

Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior VP & Head of Sales and Marketing at Kia India, stated, “This initiative modernizes India’s transportation infrastructure, reducing wait times for customers and advancing our sustainability goals.”

This pioneering effort supports India’s vision for sustainable manufacturing, setting a new benchmark for the auto industry’s logistics landscape.
