◈ Expected effects
 As the pilot bus service in Gumi is undertaken as part of the low-carbon green project, it gives the carbon-free
city image to the city
 As people obtain the opportunity to experience the OLEV bus service, they pay more attention to eco-friendly
public transportations with a more positive view
 OLEV buses will greatly contribute to decreasing the consumption of fossil energy by achieving a fuel cost
reduction of 38% compared to their diesel counterparts and 33% compared to their CNG counterparts

 Electric buses produce no CO2 emissions, and there is an environment-improving effect equivalent to
planting 40,693 thirty-year-old pine trees

[Appendix 1] Evaluation by World-Renowned Experts

“KAIST technology is less costly than the electric car we are planning.”

Shimon Peres / Israeli President / Dong-A Science (Jun. 9, 2010)

“ OLEV technology is very impressive and I am very much surprised at KAIST

technology which has been remarkably developed within a short time.”

Lars Loekke Rasmussen / Danish Prime Minister / Yonhap News (Mar. 11, 2010)

“ I had an opportunity of seeing OLEV developed by KAIST. If this technology is applied,

environmental problems can be reduced too.”

John D. Spengler / Prof. at Harvard University / JoongAng Ilbo (Aug. 28, 2010)

“ At that time, the level of battery technology and its price competitiveness were low so it
failed, but KAIST solved difficult problems and developed it, by which I am very much
touched.”

Steven Shladover / UC Berkeley PATH Project Director / Yonhap News (Jun. 18, 2010)

45
[Appendix 1] Evaluation by World-Renowned Experts

“ OLEV is not the development of electric cars, but the development of a transportation
system that a vehicle and infra are combined, so it is highly valuable. ”

Andrew Brown / President of SAE International / Yonhap News(Jun. 18, 2010)

“ Market applicability has been acquired and the maturity of the technology is judged high.”

Patric Leteinturier / Senior Principal at Germany’s Infineon Technologies

/ Yonhap News (Jun. 18, 2010)

“ The existing charging type for electric cars is very inconvenient because a heavy battery
should be carried on a car. KAIST has suggested a key of solving the problem.”

Edward A. Lee / Prof. UC Berkeley / Electronic Times (Feb. 22, 2010)

“ In the 1980s, Japan attempted to introduce it, but gave up. However, I saw a possibility from
KAIST that it can be really applied.”

Tateo Arimoto / Director-General of Japan Science and Technology (JST)

/ Yonhap News(Jun. 18, 2010)
