Lee Vows Full Support for Electric Car Industry




President Lee Myung-bak is looking to make the Korea's car industry the world's best. While noting the fierce competition in the global auto market, the President highlighted the rising importance of electric cars given growing concerns over environmental issues.

Presiding over a regular economic meeting at a car company's research center on Thursday, Lee promised that the government will fully support the industry in developing the core technology necessary to build electric cars.

On the same day related ministries announced plans to start mass producing electric cars by 2011 instead of 2013. To that end the government plans to financially support automakers' research and development efforts in creating "green" car technology and provide tax breaks and direct subsidies to customers who buy such cars.



Audi will build electric sports car


It's official: Audi's e-tron is a go.
Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen says an electric vehicle based on the high-performance e-tron concept will debut in the United States in two to three years.
The sleek two-seat sports car was unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show last month, but at the time Audi would not confirm plans to produce it. Now de Nysschen says the car is on its way.
"I expect we will see running examples in the next 24 months," he says.
