Yangon: KG Mobility Corp., a South Korean carmaker, announced its ambitious target to sell 1,000 sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in Myanmar this year as part of its brand launch in the Southeast Asian country.

According to Yonhap News Agency, KG Mobility plans to export its all-electric Torres EVX and Musso EV pickup as complete knockdown (CKD) kits to Myanmar. These kits will be assembled into fully functional vehicles at the facilities of its local partner, Super Seven Stars Group, for distribution within the domestic market.
