Hyundai Motor Group has donated 2 billion KRW ($1.4 million) to disaster relief organization Hope Bridge to support recovery efforts in areas of South Korea severely damaged from the recent heavy rainfall, the auto conglomerate said Monday.
The automaker announced that it will offer up to a 50 percent discount for those seeking repairs on their Hyundai Motor and Kia vehicles damaged by the downpours. After repairs are completed, the company plans to provide free cleaning services. Hyundai and Kia owners could receive up to 3 million KRW in discounted services.
“We extend our deepest condolences to everyone who has suffered greatly from the sudden downpour, including those who have lost their homes,” said a Hyundai Motor Group spokesperson.
“We hope our support measures, including donations, relief vehicle dispatches, and discounts for auto repairs, will help people return to their normal lives.”
According to the South Korean government, as of 9 p.m. Sunday, 18 people had been confirmed dead, with nine still missing due to last week’s heavy rainfall. Over 14,000 individuals were forced to evacuate their homes because of flooding and landslides across the country.
