Kia India has inaugurated its green workshop at Rohtak, Haryana. The solar panel-powered facility optimises water and energy usage extensively, which helps meet more than 80% of the energy requirements while powering an EV AC charging unit.
A press release from Kia India stated that it is also replicating its plant's water recycling model in this workshop by recycling 100% of the water used during servicing.
In addition, it will also host a rainwater harvesting process to replenish the groundwater level. The workshop has also enhanced the car washing process with steam wash technology, which saves 95% of water usage compared to the conventional car wash.
The carmaker plans to open 150 more ‘green workshop’ by 2026. As per the company's initial plan, these facilities will cover even the Tier-3 and Tier-4 markets alongside metro cities and Tier-1 and Tier-2 towns.
Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales and Business Strategy Officer, Kia India, said that with these innovations, the company not only aims to reduce its carbon footprint but also leads the industry and showcases customers how eco-friendliness can merge seamlessly with top-notch driving experiences.
“We envision a future where being green and enjoying a premium drive go hand in hand,” Sohn added.
