 "Hyundai, Kia Motors to unveil 3 solar panel roofs for hybrid, EV vehicles")
Hyundai Motor Co and its affiliate Kia Motors Corp are planning to launch a solar charging technology for some Hyundai vehicles to meet global emission regulation targets, the South Korean automakers said on Wednesday.
Solar panels will be mounted on the roof or hood of the vehicles, the companies said.
The companies are launching three solar charging systems for several types of vehicles, including hybrid and battery electric.

Hyundai is set to launch the first generation of the technology for its vehicles after 2019.
