    Many countries all over the world found themselves to be rather unprepared when the coronavirus hit, and they lacked the vast amounts of personal protective equipment (PPE) needed for medical professionals. Automakers have been filling the shortages by producing PPE at their factories which include respirators, masks, and ventilators and now Kia is also doing the same. Image Credit: Kia

    The Korean carmaker’s Accelerate the Good programme started off as an extension for vehicle warranties that were set to expire but now it includes the assembly of PPE at its factory in West Point, Georgia. It is the same factory that produces the Telluride, Sorento, and Optima. Image Credit: Kia

    Sean Yoon, president and CEO of Kia Motors North America said, "Giving back in meaningful ways is a key component of Kia Motors' 'Give It Everything' strategy in the US. Our Accelerate the Good program identifies areas where Kia can make the biggest impact and we are proud to lend our manufacturing capabilities and talents to produce face shields that will protect America's courageous healthcare workers. Kia is driven by an unstoppable spirit to take on and overcome challenges, and the world-class team members at Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia have come together in support of those who are giving it everything on the frontlines of the pandemic."
