Introduction to KEVA

May 15, 2026 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

The Korea Electric Vehicle Association (KEVA) is a representative professional organization specializing in electric vehicles (EVs) in Korea, and is a corporation under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, established in April 2014 to promote the development and distribution of the EV industry.
KEVA encompasses the entire industrial ecosystem, including EV manufacturers, batteries, charging infrastructure, and parts companies, and serves as a bridge between the government and companies.

Purpose and Vision of Establishment
KEVA was established to propose policies to revitalize electric vehicles and related industries, support technology development, and create a private-led, self-sustaining market ecosystem.
KEVA envisions building an environmentally friendly, automobile-oriented, social and industrial ecosystem, and of securing global market leadership.

Composition of Major Member Companies
KEVA has about 100-member companies in operation and is largely divided into four categories ― complete vehicles (Hyundai Motor, Kia, Renault Korea, Mercedes-Benz Korea, BMW Korea, Tata Daewoo Mobility Company, GS Global, Volvo, etc.); batteries (battery manufacturing and related companies such as Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution; charging infrastructure (charger manufacturing, Charge Point Operators [CPOs], platform companies, etc.), and parts, etc. (manufacturers and research institutes of key parts related to EVs).

Key Businesses & Roles
KEVA provides supporting data for government policymaking, including subsidies, tax benefits, and guidelines for building charging infrastructure to expand the supply of EVs, and improve the system.
KEVA is working with the National Assembly and government departments (Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment; Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy; Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) to periodically hold the Electric Vehicle Leaders Forum and strategic policy seminars to discuss industry issues.
KEVA shares global technology trends through exchanges with overseas EV-related organizations and serves as a bridgehead to support domestic companies’ entry into overseas markets.
KEVA is promoting professional development initiatives such as EV safety training, training for maintenance and management personnel, and the establishment of performance evaluation and maintenance standards for charging facilities.

Recent Activity (as of 2026)
Recently, KEVA has been focusing on preparing policy alternatives to overcome the phenomenon of the ‘Chasm’ (temporary demand stagnation). In particular, KEVA is actively working to build a fire safety management system, expand the supply of medium and large electric trucks, and standardize and improve regulations on next-generation charging technologies such as V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid).
Thus, for the sustainable growth of the electric vehicle industry, KEVA is a key organization that reflects the voices of the field in its policies and supports Korea’s efforts to remain competitive in the global future mobility market.

Internal Combustion Locomotives

May 15, 2026 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Korea Pursuing Qualitative Growth through EVs for Transition from Internal Combustion Locomotives

As of 2026, Korea’s electric vehicle (EV) and charging infrastructure policies are focused on qualitative growth, and completing the transition from internal combustion locomotives ― beyond just expanding supply. In particular, drastic support measures and measures to strengthen safety are key to overcoming the recent decline in demand.

Four Key Support Measures for Transition to EVs

EV Purchase Subsidies
The biggest change in subsidy policy in 2026 is that the unit price of subsidies, which had been reduced every year, has returned to an expansionary phase.
Up to KRW 1million will be provided to rail operators that discard or sell existing internal combustion locomotives (over three years of shipment) and purchase EVs. The relevant budget has increased by approximately 30% year-over-year in order to speed up EV penetration.The differential width of subsidies based on battery-energy density and recycled value has increased. This is more favorable for vehicles equipped with high-performance NCM (nickel, cobalt, and manganese) batteries than LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries.

Charging Infrastructure
Korea is now focusing on ‘faultless chargers’ and ‘user convenience,’ rather than increasing the number of chargers. Korea will install a new category of medium-speed chargers (30 to 50 kW) suitable for places where users remain for 2-3 hours, such as hypermarkets and movie theaters, which will be established to fill the gap between fast and slow speed.
Korea provides subsidies by directly evaluating the manufacturer’s technical and maintenance capabilities, as well as the capabilities of the Charge Point Operator (CPO). If the performance of core components, such as power modules, is insufficient, the subsidy is reduced by 20%.The government is expanding the supply of smart control chargers and mandating integration with real-time monitoring systems to prevent fires during charging.

Expansion of New Technologies &Special Vehicles
Korea has completed the demonstration of V2G technology that powers EV batteries back to the grid, and the nation is preparing to implement a two-way charger installation grant to support it.
Korea is encouraging the decarbonization of the logistics industry by setting subsidies of KRW40-60 million for the supply of medium and large electric trucks (1.5 to 5 tons or more), moving away from small trucks.

Future Mobility Roadmap (Linked to 2030 Roadmap)
Korean government ministries (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) view electric vehicles as the core of ‘AI-based mobility,’ and not just as a means of transportation.
With the aim of commercializing level-4 autonomous driving in 2027, the Korean government is promoting the integration of electric vehicle platforms and K-AI city infrastructure. The government is therefore investing large funding in R&D and human resources training to enable internal combustion engine parts makers to transition to AI-based smart manufacturing and future automotive parts makers.

[INQ. NO. 2604M05] Intermac Co., Ltd. is a Korea-based manufacturer specializing in industrial inkjet marking and coding systems, offering reliable solutions designed for a wide range of production environments and industries.
With three core product lines ― RED TIJ; RED DOD; and RED HIRES ― Intermac provides a complete marking portfolio covering: low- to medium-speed lines with minimal maintenance; harsh industrial environments requiring extreme durability; and medium to high-speed production lines demanding high-resolution, and continuous printing.

High-resolution Thermal Inkjet
Intermac’s RED TIJ is a high-resolution thermal inkjet (TIJ) marking system developed and manufactured in Korea. The latest 2026 model features a newly upgraded 10.1 full-color touch screen, providing a highly intuitive and user-friendly interface. A single controller can support up to four printheads and customers can select either 1/2 or 1 printheads.

Developed and manufactured in Korea, the RED TIJ reflects a strong focus on product reliability, system stability, and practical usability in real production environments.

Industrial Large Character Inkjet Printer
Intermac’s RED DOD is an industrial-sized character inkjet printer built on robust Drop-on-Demand (DOD) piezo technology, engineered to perform reliably even in harsh industrial environments involving dust, vibration, or temperature fluctuations.
It prints text, lot and batch numbers clearly on cartons, corrugated boxes, wood, films, and metals.

Industrial High-resolution Inkjet Printing System
Intermac’s RED HIRES is an industrial high-resolution inkjet printing system built with XAAR piezo printheads (XAAR128 and XAAR501) from the UK, designed for continuous, high-speed production lines that require stable and precise printing.
