Modernizing Korea’s Transport Landscape

T-600 was an upgraded version of K-360, Korea’s first three-wheeled vehicle. While maintaining its compact size for navigating narrow streets, it offered expanded cargo space and engine capacity. Thanks to these improvements, T-600 gained popularity and became a symbolic model in Kia’s lineup—contributing to Korea’s modernization of transportation. In 2008, it was designated as Registered Cultural Heritage No. 400.

The Three-wheeler Optimized for Urban Transport

Designed for a time when wide roads were scarce, T-600 was optimized for small-scale urban deliveries. From transporting coal briquettes and moving boxes to navigating steep hills with mail in tow, it became a familiar sight etched into the collective memory of Koreans.
