Kia to unveil green concept car at Chicago Auto Show
Car bulbs and windscreen wiper blades have a big future in the development of green cars, with Kia the latest manufacturer to announce the launch of a new concept car.
Ray will make its maiden appearance at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show in February after the vehicle was created at the Kia Design Centre in the US.
The plug-in hybrid model will be the centre of attention at Kia Motors Americas display in Chicago, with the car being used by the manufacturer in its ongoing development of vehicles that use fuels other than petrol and diesel.
Hybrid Kia models will arrive in the UK in the near future, shortly after on-road testing of its hybrid vehicles begins in Britain later this year.
Kia hopes to commercialise liquefied petroleum gas hybrid cars in Korea at some point in 2010, with the manufacturer currently working on fuel cell vehicle prototypes in the country as well as California.
It was announced earlier this week that the 500,000th car had rolled off the production line at Kias Zilina plant in Slovakia.
