Thaco Kia K100: The Perfect Replacement for Kia K165
According to Decision No. 49/2011 of the Government, from January 1, 2018, all imported and domestically assembled new automobiles must meet Euro 4 emission standards. Due to using the KIA JT engine with Euro 2 standards, the Kia K165 series no longer meets this requirement. Thaco has researched and developed the new Kia K100 product line, using the Hyundai D4CB engine, meeting Euro 4 standards, as a replacement for the Kia K165.
Powerful and Fuel-Efficient Engine
The new Kia 1-ton truck is equipped with a Hyundai D4CB engine, producing 130 horsepower, with electronically controlled fuel injection (common rail electronic fuel injection). This helps the engine optimize fuel combustion, be environmentally friendly, produce high power, and save fuel.
