The Hyundai Accent GLE, part of the stable of state-of-the-art models from Hyundai Motor India Ltd., the country’s second largest auto manufacturer and leading exporter, has been selected by the Government of India for its fleet of official cars. The Directorate General of Supplies & Disposals (DGS&D) in the Department of Supplies under the Ministry of Commerce, the central purchase and quality assurance organisation of the Union Government, has approved the Accent GLE for use by all government departments across the country.
The DGS & D evaluation and registration processes are held in high esteem by all government departments and agencies for its severely rigorous vetting and testing standards.
Commenting on this, Hyundai Motor India, Sr VP. Marketing And Sales, Arvind Saxena said: “This is a welcome acknowledgment of our products and we are happy that we will be able to be a part of DGS & D list of approved automobile companies and cater to the government. This is an important market for us and the Accent is the right product for this category of users with its compact size, high fuel efficiency and time tested performance”
The Hyundai Accent GLE is one of the most reliable and proven cars in this segment with a powerful yet economical 1.5 litre petrol engine. The mid-size sedan also offers comfortable interiors in line with international class, with a split-folding rear seat, a powerful air-conditioning system that maintains the most comfortable climate inside the car through specially designed omni-directional air-flow control ducts.
With this, Hyundai Motor India, which currently sells around 1000 units of the Accent GLE a month, expects to increase the user base of the sedan. The Accent will be supplied to all government agencies at the Union and state levels at a special rate.
The DGS&D is also currently evaluating the Hyundai Verna and Sonata models for registration as approved automobiles for acquisition by government bodies.
