Kia India, known for its premium vehicles, has taken a significant step towards becoming a sustainable mobility solutions provider with the inauguration of its first Green Workshop in Rohtak, Haryana. The workshop is powered through solar panels and has been constructed to make considerable savings in water and energy, satisfying over 80% of energy requirements and offering an EV AC charging section.
At this green workshop, they also implement the same water recycling model used in their factories, which allows for total recycling of the water expended in the service process. The workshop is additionally equipped with a rainwater harvesting system boosting groundwater levels. An innovative Steam Wash technology has been introduced for car washes, which cuts down water usage by 95%, as compared to traditional car wash methods.
In line with their vision of sustainable progress, Kia India has declared their intention to launch additional 150 green workshops by 2026. According to their preliminary outline, these eco-friendly facilities will expand into smaller tier 3 and 4 markets along with metro cities and tier 1 and 2 markets. This move underscores Kia India's dedication to building a more sustainable future for its workforce and communities.
Mr. Myung-sik Sohn, the Chief Sales and Business Strategy Officer at Kia India, during the inauguration, stated, “Establishing our inaugural Green Workshop in Rohtak is a significant step towards positioning Kia India at the forefront of sustainable mobility and demonstrates our commitment to open 150 more Green Workshops by 2026. With these advancements, we are not only reducing our environmental impact but also leading the sector in demonstrating how eco-conscious practices can coexist with superior driving experiences. We foresee a future where ecological responsibility and premium driving are integrated.”
Kia India has consistently introduced eco-friendly strategies since the beginning of its operations in India. Its Anantapur manufacturing site has the capacity to recycle all water used in the production process. In 2020, it introduced a paperless post-sale service employing digital devices in the after-sales section to manage all queries.
This year, two community-centric initiatives were introduced - Develop Responsible Outlook for Plastic (DROP) and Uphaar. DROP aims to tackle plastic waste accumulation issue and its dispersal across landfills and water bodies, whereas Uphaar is a tree plantation program designed to support struggling farming communities and bring a solution for climate change.
