韩国监管机构对两家供应商共计罚款175万美元,因为他们在2020年至2023年间勾结了现代和起亚汽车的内部表面处理竞标. South Korean regulators fined two suppliers a combined $1.75 million for colluding to rig bids for interior surface treatment on Hyundai and Kia vehicles between 2020 and 2023. 公司预先安排了五款主要SUV车型的获奖者和价格, 这违反了公平贸易法. The firms prearranged winners and prices for five major SUV models, violating fair trade laws. 公司面临分别120万美元和68万美元的罚款, 但监管机构没有确定操纵是否直接提高了消费者价格. The companies face fines of $1.2 million and $680,000 respectively, though regulators did not determine if the rigging directly raised consumer prices.
