Global autonomous driving corporation Autonomous A2z announced on the 9th that it is conducting a joint promotion linked to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) with global materials science corporation 3M.
This promotion will take place from today until the 11th during the 2025 Autonomous Mobility Industry Fair (AME) held at COEX. Autonomous A2z will conduct on-site participatory events to spread ESG values, while 3M plans to sponsor the output of eco-friendly graphic films and the production of goods.
In particular, the two corporations collaborated on the production of the Level 4 autonomous driving shuttle 'Loi' for this industry fair. Loi is an unmanned autonomous vehicle developed in-house by Autonomous A2z, featuring eco-friendly graphic film produced by 3M applied to its exterior. This film effectively reduces carbon emissions compared to existing options. An official from Autonomous A2z noted, "This is to reflect ESG values through Loi."
Earlier, the two corporations signed a business agreement in May regarding the introduction of eco-friendly graphic solutions for electric autonomous vehicles.
During the exhibition period, Autonomous A2z plans to unveil its new brand Azton, which integrates its advanced autonomous driving technology, products, and service capabilities. In addition, it aims to provide opportunities to experience future autonomous driving through kiosk reservations and vehicle calls.
Han Ji-hyung, CEO of Autonomous A2z, said, "This promotion is a project that connects design collaboration, technology, and environmental and social responsibility," adding, "We will create a sustainable mobility ecosystem."
