Hyundai today unveiled a comprehensive range of Genuine Hyundai Accessories at the official launch today of the new Hyundai light commercial vehicles - the Hyundai iLoad (van and crew van) and the Hyundai iMax executive shuttle, at the Melbourne International Motor Show.

Highlighting the increased versatility and adaptability of the new Hyundai iLoad vehicles, the ergonomically designed, Genuine Hyundai Accessories range has been introduced with the Australian tradesman in mind - by enabling the personalisation of the vehicle to suit both the personal and professional needs of Australian drivers.

"We've introduced a range of accessories on the iLoad and iMax so business and tradespeople can customise their vehicles to their specific trade and business needs,' says Kevin McCann, Director of Sales and Marketing, Hyundai Motor Company Australia.

"We've worked hard to ensure that accessories such the Roof Rack, Full Technician Kit, Technician Step and Grab Handles all work together in the interests of occupational health and safety standards. Accordingly, they have been designed to ensure stability and balance, taking into consideration the height of the vehicles roof,' McCann said.
