    Hyundai Teases Electric Concept For The 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show

    We’ve already told you what Hyundai is bringing to the 2019 Frankfurt Motor show but the company has now teased a new model, and from the looks of it, it is another electric vehicle. The company says that this EV will focus on the future direction of the company’s car design and the inspiration from the past while also stepping into the future. The looks of the electric car in question is inspired by the brand’s first model in the 1970s. It’s called the 45 concept and yes, it’s an all-electric model. The company says that the 45 electric car concept will act as a milestone for Hyundai’s future EV design.

    The second electric vehicle will be the company’s first-ever electric racing car, which the carmaker claims will tease the future of motorsport. The new electric race car has been designed and built at the company’s headquarters in Alzenau, Germany by Hyundai Motorsport (HMSG). The company says that the car “will underline the company’s high-performance capabilities, green technology credentials and unwavering passion for motorsport.”

    The car will be unveiled on September 10, 2019 and will bring out the sensous and sporty design language that the company has been bringing in their cars lately. There are no technical details that have been released yet, but from the looks of it we’ll get a digital fascia. In addition to this showcase, Hyundai will debut the next-generation Hyundai Grand i10 (known as just i10 in Europe), and one more electric car.

    AirAsia X flying to London, Frankfurt this summer

    AirAsia X will return to London this summer with direct flights out of klia2, AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes told media on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last week.

    Additionally, Fernandes said that Frankfurt will be added to the list of destinations for the long-haul arm of the Malaysian-based low-cost carrier, but it will be a direct flight out of Bangkok.

    According to German news agency DPA, Fernandes said he hoped to set the airfare below €200 (RM953) for the Bangkok-Frankfurt flight.

    “I would like to offer them for even less. Due to the low oil prices, we could even afford to set the airfare as low as €150 (RM715).

    “We are keen on attracting more Europeans to come to holiday in Southeast Asia as well as to help Asians who wish to explore Europe. We see this as a mutual market,” he was quoted as saying by DPA.

    The airline had suspended all flights to Europe, including London and Paris, in March 2012, due to high operating costs. The Kuala Lumpur and London route was launched by AirAsia X in March 2009.

    AirAsia X currently flies to multiple destinations in China, India and Japan, as well as to a few Australian cities.
