There are many parallels and similarities that make Bertrand Piccard a fitting ambassador for Hyundai. The most significant is certainly the conviction that actions achieve more than words.
At Hyundai, this positive attitude toward innovation and technology comes in part through a variety of alternative powertrains on offer. A variety that is not announced, but is already available.
Full range of electric drives
In addition to the gasoline and diesel engines, which already meet the strict Euro 6d-Temp regulations, Hyundai already offers the entire range of possible electric drives. The determination with which Hyundai is making these available is also convincing Bertrand Piccard, who has been on the road as a Hyundai brand ambassador for 18 months.
Switch to All-New Kona electric
After more than a year in the Ioniq electric, Bertrand Piccard switched to the all-new Kona electric: "How could I drive anything but an electric vehicle after flying around the world in a solar plane? The model stands for what I want to proclaim to the whole world: clean technologies are more than an adventure. They already make it possible to conserve resources and protect the environment without limiting our quality of life."
