SEOUL: 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 Middle Eastern 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.
