SEOUL, May 22, 2022 – #hyundaimotorgroup (HMG), a global enterprise that has created a value chain based on #mobility and is working to support a better future for humanity, reaffirmed today its commitment to expanding investment in the U.S. to further its goal to provide sustainable and #smartmobility solutions to its U.S.

The Group’s plans, which involves more than USD 10 billion investment, are designed to accelerate innovation and #mobility electrification. The move supports carbon neutrality goals with new technologies and contributes to manufacturing in the U.S.

Earlier this week, #hyundaimotorgroup disclosed a USD 5.54-billion plan to establish its first dedicated U.S. #ev and battery manufacturing facilities in the State of #georgia to build a wide range of new and innovative full electric vehicles for its valued U.S. customers.

The new facility, located on a dedicated 2,923-acre site in #bryancounty, #georgia, will break ground in early 2023 and is expected to begin commercial production in the first half of 2025 with an annual capacity of 300,000 units. The new facility will help HMG lead the U.S. #auto market’s #ev transition and the Group’s roadmap to be one of top three #ev providers in the U.S. by 2026, helping to grow U.S. innovation and manufacturing.

The new plant will implement many of HMG’s advanced intelligent manufacturing technologies, boasting a highly connected, automated, and flexible manufacturing system, which organically connects all elements of the #ev ecosystem to realize customer value. As part of the Group’s commitment to sustainability, the plant will mainly rely on renewable energy sources to power the facility and use emission-reduction technologies to meet the RE100 requirements. 

"We have come a long way and become very successful in a short period of time, but we are also preparing for our future," said #euisunchung, Executive Chair of #hyundaimotorgroup, following his meeting with U.S. President #joebiden today in Seoul. “The Group will strengthen our partnership with U.S. public and private entities to offer innovative products and #mobility solutions to our valued customers in the U.S. while supporting global carbon neutrality efforts.”

As one of the global leaders in innovation, HMG has allocated a series of additional expenditure to foster key future businesses such as #robotics, advanced air #mobility (AAM), autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence (AI). The investment will enable HMG to offer diverse #mobility products and services with greater safety and convenience.

Robotics is an essential part of the Group’s transformation into a #smartmobility solutions provider. Having acquired Boston Dynamics, an innovator in the field, HMG has sharpened its focus on advancing #robotics to enhance people’s lives through a range of #mobility solutions. The Group is committed to the growth of Boston Dynamics by expediting mass production of future products, enhancing product lineup and strengthening competitiveness.

HMG is also pioneering driverless technologies and responding to rapid paradigm shift in the #automotive industry through Motional, a venture established in Boston jointly with the leading U.S. #mobility technology firm Aptiv in 2020. Motional is currently testing its robotaxi service on U.S public roads with an aim to commence commercial service in 2023. The Group will actively support Motional to make the driverless technology more safe, reliable, and accessible to customers in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. HMG will cooperate with U.S. partners in areas to accelerate the efforts to bring driverless technology into reality.

To expand the dimension of #mobility solutions, HMG is also developing the technologies and infrastructure in the advanced air #mobility (AAM). The Group launched Washington D.C.-based Supernal last year to strengthen its AAM capabilities. Supernal is working to integrate AAM into existing transit networks and shape a seamless intermodal passenger experience. The vision is for passengers to use a single app – like current rideshare platforms – to plan their journey, which could include taking a car or rail from home to an AAM "vertiport," riding an eVTOL across town, and then using an e-scooter for the last mile. With the target of beginning commercial service in 2028, Supernal is collaborating with stakeholders to explore physical and digital infrastructure concepts and secure the right ecosystem for the AAM industry to take off.

In order to advance all future businesses and strengthen competitiveness in diverse areas within the Group, HMG plans to increase investment into AI technologies while it also actively pursues new business opportunities with local partners to broaden business infrastructure, achieve carbon neutrality, and others.

In addition to the future business enhancement, HMG will maintain consistent levels of investment in R&D to continue offering exciting and innovative vehicles from its #hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands, as well as into expanding and upgrading existing facilities in the U.S.
