The Kona Electric is capable of an impressive 300 miles of range, 0-62mph in 7.6 seconds, and starts from £32,845 (including Plug In Car Grant). The vehicle brings together the very latest in battery electric powertrain and connected technology, with an impressive all-electric driving range of 300 miles and a striking design.

The Ioniq Electric is a member of the Ioniq family - world’s first car to be offered with three different electrified powertrains. The vehicle offers buyers up to 174 miles of zero emissions range, and is priced from £26,745 (including PICG).

“Hyundai Motor has made a conscious effort to become a leader in electrified technology, so it gives me great pleasure to see the brand recognised by the GreenFleet Awards” said Tony Whitehorn, Hyundai Motor UK President and CEO. “Our electric offerings, including Kona and IONIQ, represent extremely good value for money, are packed full of the latest technology and come as standard with the peace-of-mind that’s afforded by Hyundai’s five-year unlimited mileage and 8 Year or 125,000 mile high voltage battery warranty. These models are just the start of Hyundai’s electric story, and I look forward to sharing with you all the exciting innovations we have coming over the next five years and beyond.”

Angela Pisanu Editor of GreenFleet, added that Hyundai is making electric mobility accessible to the masses with its Ioniq and Kona models and that they are attractive, safe, affordable, practical, and crucially, offer excellent range.

The GreenFleet Awards are now in their 14th year, bringing together leaders of the fleet and automotive industries to identify and celebrate businesses and initiatives that are working to reduce the environmental impact of fleet operations.

Hyundai continues to invest in low and zero emissions powertrains, and is the only manufacturer to offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid, fully electric and Fuel Cell options. The Nexo Fuel Cell Vehicle is due to go on sale early in 2019, capable of travelling 414 zero emissions miles on each fill. Nexo even cleans the air as it drives, cleaning nearly a tonne of fine particulates from London’s air during October’s ‘Clean Driving Month’.

Hyundai’s commitment to reducing emissions across its line-up will see a total of 18 new electrified models introduced to the range by 2025, with three new fully electric vehicles by 2022.
