South Korean car exports rise 3.8% year-on-year to $37 billion in first half of this year by the virtue of increasing its exports to the United States.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea International Trade Association, the increase is primarily due to continued growth in exports of high value-added eco-friendly cars, including electric and hybrid vehicles, to North America and Europe.
