Kia PBV aims to go beyond the traditional concept of a vehicle and redefine its meaning with Platform Beyond Vehicle, a total mobility solution that incorporates advanced software technology seamlessly designed to enhance the user experience. The tailored interiors and evolved software solutions will make your business and lifestyle richer and more convenient.
Our PBV Concept offers a range of 100% electric vans. We will have our full range of Kia professional business vans for sale from 2026, with more variants being phased in over the coming years.
Designed to better suit diverse customer needs, the Kia PBV Concept goes far beyond the existing conventions of modern commercial vehicles. Using commercial vehicle technology and advanced software solutions, our electric vans will offer different profiles, layouts and interiors, depending on your personal or business needs.
From light commercial vehicles (LCVs) designed to unlock new business opportunities to people carriers that offer flexible travel solutions, Kia's professional business van range will expand and revolutionise the concept of sustainable mobility.
Do you need your own portable pop-up store?
With enough space to stand up while working, our professional business van range lets you freely configure the storefront you want.
And, thanks to our Vehicle to Load capabilities, your Kia business van also acts as a mobile power bank for electrical devices on-site. This includes store lights, digital displays for your latest products and services, and more.
Do efficiency and safety come as top priorities in your business?
Our vehicles' low step height helps minimise strain, and our suite of specialised software solutions helps you optimise your operations with reliable routing. This makes them ideal as electric cargo delivery vans.
Are you looking for a comfortable ride mode of transport?
Our PV5-R electric van Concept offers a spacious interior brimming with smart features - our vision for a future mobility solution. This makes the PV5-R ideal as a taxi van or vehicle, keeping customers comfortable and entertained on every step of their journey.
Kia will align its PBV business with Hyundai Motor Group's key future businesses of Robotics, AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) and Autonomous driving to ultimately implement them in smart cities.
In the case of Robotics, Kia will revolutionize manufacturing and logistics through Boston Dynamics Stretch and SPOT. AAM will bring smart cities closer to reality by realizing multi-modal services and mobility hub businesses with Supernal. In regards to Autonomous driving, Kia is working on a PV5-R with Motional, and in the near future plans to achieve level 4 autonomous driving with Motional's next-generation system.
Kia is developing specialized software solutions to increase business efficiency and better transition to a fully electric and autonomous future.
Kia's In-Vehicle Infotainment solution recognizes the driver, their purpose and operational needs in real-time. It then loads the driver's profile, presets and preferences, and provides useful data.
In addition, Kia’s Fleet Management System solution optimises Electric Van operations while ensuring business stability. Vast amounts of data generated during Electric Van operation can be connected with the AI Cloud for efficient fleet management in real time. This provides customers with insights to maximise business operations such as preventive vehicle maintenance.
Finally, Kia will provide optimised EV charging solutions such as charging scheduling and charging stations. In the future, Kia will realise Total Energy Solution by building advanced charging infrastructure such as V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything).
Kia began construction on its PBV-dedicated Hwaseong EVO Plant in 2023. The plant will implement an innovative production process that combines a new cell method with the traditional conveyor system and will soon introduce Dynamic Hybrid technology to more flexibly respond to diverse customer needs.
