As Governments and motorists keep up
the interest levels in an electric-car future Kia Motors Corporation has
revealed the first preview rendering of its latest concept car – called
Ray – which will make its global debut at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show
next month.
Styled by the team at Kia Design Centre
America, the Kia Ray project was undertaken to demonstrate how Kia’s
evolving design direction would be applied in the packaging of a plug-in
hybrid vehicle.

The actual car will form the
centre-piece of the Kia Motors America display at Chicago and the
vehicle will contribute to Kia’s on-going development of
alternative-fuel vehicles.
Already Kia has pioneered potentially
real-life fuel cell vehicles and has working prototypes operating in
California and Korea. Additionally Kia has various hybrid-engined
vehicles providing real-world data in various locations and plans to
commercialise Liquefied Petroleum Gas hybrid vehicles in Korea within
the next 12 months.
Currently no date has been set for
hybrid Kia models to be put on sale in the UK but on-road testing of
petrol and diesel hybrid vehicles is due to start in Britain this year.
