Paul Philpott

2020 was an important year for the South Korean car brand Kia, as it launched hybrid and plug-in versions of its all-new Sorento SUV, expanded its e-Niro model range, and announced plans to offer 11 EVs globally by 2025, some of them underpinned by parent company Hyundai's new modular E-GMP platform. Paul steered the company through these milestones, and the electric commitment was rewarded with the 2020 GreenFleet EV Manufacturer of the Year award.
