SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): After a delay partly owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, South Korean vehicle manufacturer Hyundai Motor’s assembly plant in Singapore will start rolling out the electric Ioniq 5 in the first half of this year.

To mark the occasion, the company will hold a charity auction for the number plates of its first 100 cars assembled in Singapore. These cars will bear special number plates with the “EVS” prefix, which stands for EV made in Singapore.
