Hyundai Motor has exhibited the all-new IONIQ 5 at EVER Monaco 2021. The company also participated in a roundtable discussion with guest speaker Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss explorer, environmentalist and Hyundai brand ambassador. The conference and exhibition event, which is taking place this year between 5 and 7 May at Espace Fontvieille in Monaco, showcases the latest technology in renewable energy with a focus on automobile design.
As an international meeting point for major players in green vehicles and renewable energy, Hyundai attended the 16th annual EVER Monaco as a leader in clean mobility. Hyundai is showcasing its all-new electric mid-size CUV IONIQ 5 as part of its European preview tour. The exhibition aims to show that IONIQ 5 is more than just a car as it offers customers a new perspective on life and sustainability.
In addition to calling attention to Hyundai’s commitment to electrification, the IONIQ 5 exhibition also highlights its ecological features, such as its lack of a combustion engine, its solar panel roof, and its interior’s eco-friendly and sustainably-sourced materials.
Bertrand Piccard appears as guest speaker during roundtable event
Bertrand Piccard, Hyundai brand ambassador joined EVER Monaco 2021 as a guest speaker, noting Hyundai’s pioneering spirit and commitment to clean mobility and a better future. Piccard participated in a roundtable to discuss the impact of deploying sustainable mobility and charging networks in the territories.
In addition to discussing the future of clean mobility, Piccard shared his thoughts on IONIQ 5, and how it felt to be the first person to drive the model in Europe.
I’ve driven and seen the future first-hand and feel ready for the transition to clean mobility to explode as the new technology of battery and hydrogen fuel cells are on the market. No more fumes, no more noise, no more pollution.
