In May 2017, after eight years of development, Hyundai Elec City was first unveiled at Hyundai Motor Company's commercial vehicle motor show, the Hyundai Truck & Bus Mega Fair. it was officially launched on November 24, 2017. The bus offers 27 seats. Equipped with a 256kWh high-capacity Lithium polymer battery, it can travel up to 290km on a charge. The battery is mounted on the ceiling and the motor is mounted on the rear wheel, creating a bus that is larger on the inside than on the outside. It is equipped with technologies such as automatic temperature control, optimizing battery performance in extreme cold or heat, and an ultrasonic sensor that prevents the front and rear doors from closing when a person approaches them.
