Korea’s First Three-wheeled Vehicle

K-360 was Korea’s first three-wheeled vehicle—an ultra-compact truck built for the country’s narrow, undeveloped roads in the aftermath of the war. Its production marked a major milestone for Kia, leading to the nation’s first automobile manufacturing license and setting Kia on its path to becoming a full-fledged automaker.
