South Korean tech giants Samsung Electronics and SK Group said they were asking employees to curb private car use and follow fuel-saving measures after South Korea rolled out emergency energy-conservation steps amid instability in West Asian energy supplies.
Internal notices showed the companies encouraging car-use restrictions such as a five and 10-day vehicle rotation system, reduced parking availability and other energy-saving practices at offices from Thursday for Samsung and from March 30 for SK.
The moves follow government guidance aimed at cutting fuel consumption as concerns grow over prolonged disruptions linked to the Iran-related energy crisis.
