KG Mobility expands support and benefits for taxi drivers

KG Mobility (KGM) has announced an expansion of services and benefits aimed at taxi drivers to address shifting market trends. Data from the Kaizyu Data Research Institute indicates a growing preference for SUVs and eco-friendly vehicles in the taxi sector. Between January and September this year, SUV registrations among new taxis rose to 7,133 units, up from 6,089 during the same period last year. Additionally, the share of electric and hybrid vehicles increased to 26.1%, while the proportion of traditional LPG sedans declined.

To meet this demand, KGM is offering a diverse lineup including the Torres, Actyon, and the electric Torres EVX, as well as bi-fuel LPG systems. The company has also launched several support programs, including a dedicated rest area for drivers at the Experience Center in Gangnam, which features access to LPG charging stations and car washes.

Financial incentives include purchase benefits of up to 1 million won for specific models through late October, and a referral program offering 400,000 KGM points. KGM is also providing vehicle management services, such as a ‘Slim Care’ package worth 200,000 won covering oil changes and inspections, and compensation points if vehicle repairs are delayed.
