Kia to supply a PV5 Passenger model for testing across RSG sites
Kia Corporation has entered into a pilot agreement with real estate developer Red Sea Global (RSG), first signed in May 2025, to deliver next-generation electric vehicles, beginning with the Kia PV5. Developed through Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) global business strategy, the vehicles combine commercial utility with modular adaptability, supporting sustainable, future-forward mobility.
As part of the pilot, Kia is supplying RSG with a PV5 Passenger for localized testing across key service scenarios, including airport-to-resort transfers, inter-resort transport, and broader fleet operations.
While this initial deployment focuses on two of Saudi Arabia’s flagship destinations – The Red Sea and AMAALA, the collaboration extends beyond these sites and serves as a broader platform for exploring mobility solutions and supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy to achieve a net-zero society.
Eco friendly smart city
“Building on our long-standing relationship, we look forward to supporting RSG’s vision of an ultra-luxury, eco-friendly smart city by delivering HMG’s wider Smart City solutions backed by our extensive expertise and capabilities,” observed Hokeun Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of Future Strategy Division, Hyundai Motor Group.
“Together, we are reimaging how people move through and connect with the world’s most exceptional places,” remarked Hans Aksel Pedersen, Group Head of Operations, Red Sea Global.
“This collaboration is a natural fit, driven by a shared ambition to transform the future of mobility through innovation, sustainability, and a deep understanding of customer experience,” stated Ahmed Soudodi, Vice President, Product Marketing, Kia Middle East & Africa.
