-. Heating and cooling are integrated from the manufacturing stage, with noise levels kept at or below 65 dB even at a cooling air speed of 10 m/s.

-. Premium features such as EPS, tempered glass and four fans come as standard to maximize product appeal.

-. Daedong Mobility aims to lead the golf course solutions market by restructuring its distribution network and introducing an ‘AI Remote Care Service’ in H2 2026.

 

Daedong Mobility (CEO Won Yu-Hyun) announced on June 23, 2026, that it is launching the GA310 HVAC, a new five-seat golf cart for the 2027 model year.

 

 

The GA310 HVAC is a golf cart that Daedong Mobility developed with a heating and cooling system integrated from the design and manufacturing stages, making it Korea’s first mass-produced model to feature such a system. It is designed to accommodate onboard conditions that vary with the season and weather, providing convenient transportation for golf in all four seasons.

 

The model delivers powerful cooling airflow at speeds of around 10 m/s while keeping operating noise at or below 65 dB. A seat occupancy sensor detects passengers boarding and exiting and automatically controls power to improve battery efficiency. Electric power steering (EPS) provides a more stable driving feel than mechanical steering, while a tempered-glass windshield and 190 mm-wide tires deliver visibility and durability, as well as grip and braking performance.

 

Standard factory-installed convenience features include a semi-enclosed storage compartment at the rear of the roof, second-row USB sockets and four fans serving all seats. Unlike some comparable models that offer fans and USB sockets as extra-cost options, the GA310 HVAC strengthens its competitive edge by including key convenience features as standard.

 

It also offers practical benefits for golf course operators. In the existing golf cart market, cooling units are often retrofitted by third parties, creating challenges for after-sales service and maintenance. By contrast, the GA310 HVAC features a manufacturer-designed, built-in heating and cooling system that provides a single point of contact for after-sales service, helping golf courses reduce maintenance costs and management burdens.

 

The GA310 HVAC is a strategic launch by Daedong Mobility in response to growing demand for premium carts at Korean golf courses. According to industry sources, annual sales of new golf carts in Korea remain at around 3,100 units as the COVID-19-driven boom has ended and carts are being kept in service longer. However, as golf courses seek to differentiate their services, market interest is increasingly focused on high-specification carts.

 

Daedong Mobility is looking to expand its share of the Korean golf cart market with the new model. To support this effort, it is reorganizing its regional distribution network into a nationwide structure of five dealerships and three distributors, focusing on expanding coverage and strengthening sales in underserved areas. Ahead of the GA310 HVAC’s official launch, the company has been offering hands-on experiences with demo carts at major golf courses nationwide since May 2026 and is also running a preorder promotion.

 

Over the medium to long term, the company plans to expand package offerings that combine its golf carts with its other existing products, including electric scooters, tractors and autonomous transport robots. Through this approach, it aims to expand its business as a ‘golf course mobility solutions provider’ spanning mobility, transport and course management.

 

Daedong Mobility will also begin an industry-first pilot of its AI Remote Care Service for golf carts in H2 2026. The service is designed to use AI to identify potential cart failures or abnormal conditions in real time and immediately relay this information to a remote care system and dedicated personnel, enabling preventive action. The company expects the service to help customers maintain reliable operations by improving cart operating efficiency at golf courses during peak season and reducing the burden of unexpected maintenance. The service is targeted for commercial launch in 2027.
