Advancement of autonomous driving technology such as wireless update… Domestic input of hydrogen electric truck
Focus on UAM development… Full-scale entry into the robot market
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hana Jang = Hyundai Motor Group is speeding up to lead the future mobility market, such as introducing a dedicated electric vehicle based on an electric vehicle platform in the new year of the new year (辛丑年).

According to the industry on the 1st, Hyundai Motor Group is planning to introduce electric vehicles that first applied E-GMP, a platform exclusively for electric vehicles this year. Hyundai Motor Company[005380] Kia Motors including Ioniq 5[000270] CV (project name) and Genesis JW (project name) are about to be released.
E-GMP, which was unveiled in December last year, can drive more than 500km by increasing the battery load, and 80% charging is possible within 18 minutes by applying an 800V charging system.
In particular, the space occupied by parts exclusively for internal combustion engines such as engines, transmissions, and fuel tanks is greatly reduced, and the floor can be made flat, enabling various seat arrangements, which is expected to increase the utilization of indoor space.
To expand the spread of electric vehicles, 20 super-fast charging stations (120 chargers) will be built this year. The 400V and 800V multi-fast charging system is also applied for the first time to increase the convenience of charging.

In addition to the exclusive electric car, the successor models of the Grand Starex released in 2007, the 3rd generation K7, and the 5th generation Sportage will also be released. Genesis’ first medium-sized sports utility vehicle (SUV) GV70, which was unveiled at the end of last year, will also be on sale this year.
An official from Hyundai-Kia Motors said, “With the new Kona N and Avante N, we will complete the 3rd and 4th lineup of the high-performance brand N, and we plan to release an electric vehicle version of the existing Genesis model, so customers’ choices will be more diverse.”
In relation to autonomous driving, which is one of the future business of Hyundai Motor Group, OTA is applied to new cars to be released this year so that when performance is improved or new functions are added, updates can be received over the air. It aims to enhance the parking assist function by raising camera recognition.
In addition, the goal is to reinforce and apply functions such as parking division line recognition and vacancy search by adding image recognition to the remote smart parking assist function first applied to Nexo in 2018. The parking collision avoidance assist function expands the recognition range to front, side and general obstacles as well as rear pedestrians.
The integrated controller that combines the control related to the advanced driver assistance system, which is the pre-autonomous driving stage, is also further developed.
Based on this, next year, it plans to introduce a level 3 level of autonomous driving function that enables driving without the driver holding the steering wheel, and a remote valet function in 2024.

Activities to create a hydrogen ecosystem will also continue.
The world’s first mass-produced hydrogen electric truck that was exported to Switzerland was developed to domestic specifications in July, CJ Logistics.[000120]And Coupang, Hyundai Glovis[086280]In cooperation with, the company plans to put it into the logistics business by next year. Through this, the company plans to start mass production in 2023 and expand the supply of hydrogen electric vehicles to the commercial vehicle field.
The special purpose corporation’Kohien’, which has partnered with the government, local governments, and the energy industry, is also officially launched to build a commercial hydrogen charging infrastructure. Kohaizen plans to install 10 gas-type commercial vehicle hydrogen charging stations from next year, and to install more than 25 liquefied hydrogen-type charging stations by 2023.
The Hyundai Motor Group aims to expand the hydrogen fuel cell system business through the newly launched hydrogen fuel cell brand’HTWO’ and sell 700,000 hydrogen fuel cells by 2030.

It also focuses on urban aviation mobility (UAM) development. Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Eui-seon Eui-sun appointed Shin Jae-won, head of the UAM business division, as president from executive personnel in the second half of last year to empower the UAM business.
The Hyundai Motor Group plans to introduce the first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAS) system for cargo with a hybrid powertrain in 2026, and a fully electrified UAM model optimized for urban operation in 2028.
In addition, as Chairman Chung decided to acquire Boston Dynamics of the United States, which possesses world-class robot technology at the end of last year, through the first large-scale M&A (M&A) after inauguration of Chairman Chung, it is expected to enter the robot market in earnest.
Boston Dynamics recently launched a biped upright robot’Atlas’, a quadruped walking robot’Spot’, and a wheeled autonomous robot’Handle’ in line with The Contours”Two You Love Me’ through its YouTube channel. It also became a hot topic by releasing a video of dancing freely.
