Korean automakers appear to be doing well when it comes to going green.
Korean automakers appear to be doing well when it comes to going green.
Data compiled by the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association show Korea had the world's fifth-largest eco-friendly auto market last year, despite its relatively small size overall.
Some 42-thousand green cars such as hybrid and electric vehicles were sold in the country last year, meaning a more than 17-percent jump from the year prior.
But the figure accounts for a mere 1-point-8 percent of the combined 2-point-3 million such automobiles sold worldwide in 2015.
Seoul has a long way to go to catch up to Tokyo, which leads the pack at more than 890-thousand units.
Though green vehicles make up barely 1 percent of all registered vehicles in Korea, analysts predict that number will increase drastically, especially with the strong governmetn backing.
