South Korea aims to commercialize urban air mobility (UAM) services in the domestic market in 2025 as it strives to tackle worsening traffic congestion in major cities, the transport ministry said. AsiaNewsNetwork
The UAM services are designed to travel 30 to 50 kilometers in urban areas, offering transport services in connection with buses, the subway and personal mobility, like electric scooters and kickboards, the statement said.
UAM is a key future innovation business that could help overcome urban challenges, like traffic congestion, as well as connect the sky and the ground. Hyundai’s first concept PAV S-A1 is equipped with electric vertical takeoff and landing and is designed to carry five people, including a pilot. It will be operated initially by a pilot during the early stage of commercialization and driven autonomously once the relevant technologies are developed.
UAM is one of three innovative mobility solutions sought by Hyundai Motor Group, along with purpose built vehicles and the Hub, a place for mobility transfer and community activities.PBVs allow passengers to enjoy tailored services while traveling to their destinations. Upon personalization, PBVs can function as restaurants, coffee shops and hotels, or even clinics and pharmacies, in addition to being urban shuttles.
