Motrex Group's MTR Supplies CV1 to Hana Bank's "Moving Hana Bank"
Motrex Group's specialized mobility company, MTR, has secured a new application case in the mobile financial services sector by supplying its electric van "CV1," based on Hyundai Motor's ST1 platform, to Hana Bank's mobile branch "Moving Hana Bank."
MTR announced on July 7 that it had supplied the electric van CV1, which is based on the Hyundai Motor ST1 platform, to "Moving Hana Bank," a mobile branch operated by Hana Bank.
Hana Bank introduced the CV1, built on the Hyundai Motor ST1 platform, as part of its efforts to expand the transition of its mobile branch vehicles to electric vehicles in line with its eco-friendly policy direction. The vehicle's interior is equipped with space for financial consultations and various banking services, and will be used as a mobile branch that visits customers directly. MTR was responsible for supplying the vehicles, while a partner company of Hana Bank handled the specialized modifications and interior arrangements for the bank branch.
The company explained that this project is significant because it goes beyond a simple mobile branch, representing a "mobile financial platform" that combines electric mobility with financial services. It presents a new service model capable of addressing issues such as an aging population, disparities in financial accessibility between regions, support for vulnerable groups with limited mobility, and the growing demand for on-site financial services.
The CV1 applied to this project is an electric van developed on the Hyundai Motor ST1 platform. It features the quietness and eco-friendliness unique to electric vehicles and demonstrates its practical applicability to mobile financial services, confirming its potential for wider use.
In particular, the vehicle supports the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function, which allows external power supply to office equipment, IT devices, and consultation systems inside the mobile branch. This is expected to enhance the operational efficiency and practicality of mobile financial services.
Previously, MTR had partnered with Hyundai Motor to promote mobile service businesses utilizing artificial intelligence (AI)-based demand-responsive transport (DRT) platforms and the electric shuttle CV1 in locations such as Icheon in Gyeonggi Province, Seosan in South Chungcheong Province, and Cheongyang County. The company expects that, as vehicles evolve beyond mere means of transportation to platforms offering diverse services, the range of applications for the CV1 will expand into various fields, including healthcare, administration, welfare, and education.
An MTR representative stated, "This supply case is a meaningful example of the electric van CV1 being applied to actual mobile financial services," adding, "We will continue to expand the supply of electric van platforms that can be used in various fields, including finance, public services, and welfare."
