Korean cities are poised to fight toxic smog by putting more electric and hydrogen vehicles on the roads.

Seven hydrogen buses will hit the roads in Seoul next year, six in Gwangju, three in Ulsan, five in Seosan and four in Asan, both in South Chungcheong Province, and five in Changwon in South Gyeongsang Province.

The number of electric cars is also increasing rapidly. According to the Ministry of Environment, a total of 26,375 of electric cars had been registered in the country between October last year and September this year since the government started a campaign against air pollution.
