“Under our company’s vision, Progress for Humanity, Hyundai Motors is determined to do the right thing for the world,”
Jaehoon (Jay) Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company.
Hyundai is committed to creating emission-free mobility
for a cleaner environment and healthier humanity.
Quite simply, that means more exciting
travel for you at zero expense to the planet.
The Hyundai Kona Electric is rated 2nd as Australia’s top electric vehicle* thanks to our class-leading zero emission technology (*Source: www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au). In our quest for zero carbon emissions by 2045, we are also developing hydrogen power as the planet-saving fuel source for the next generation.
Australians are embracing the new Hyundai range of electric models as icons for a green future. This is just our first step as a global leader in the quest for zero emission technology. Hyundai is currently developing a whole new range of next generation EV’s that will set new benchmarks for environmental mobility.
Transportation is responsible for roughly 20% of global carbon emissions.
Hyundai is committed to building vehicles at the forefront of emission reduction by electrifying 80%
of our vehicles to be Battery Electric (BEV) and Fuel Cell Electric (FCEV) by 2040.
Hyundai believes in a future with infinite possibilities, so we are developing urban transportation systems
with the potential to transform travel – from IONIQ 5-based driverless Robotaxis
to Urban Air Mobility Solutions where we fly above our roads, this is Hyundai’s vision of the ultra-modern metropolis.
Hyundai is fast-tracking improvements to manufacturing processes, transitioning our factories to renewable energy
, and providing green support to our suppliers, to fulfil our goal of carbon neutrality from production to operation.
Jaehoon (Jay) Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company.
Electrification
We will achieve 100% electrification of new vehicles in our four core markets in Europe by 2035 and worldwide by 2040.

Reducing our carbon emissions at work
With our group members – Kia, Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Wia, and Hyundai Transys –, we are promoting the reduction of carbon to shift to the use of 100% renewable energy worldwide. To achieve this objective by 2045, 5 years earlier than the recommended timeline laid out by the global RE100 Initiative (Climate Group), we will complete the conversion to renewable energy at our plants in Europe, India, the US, and South Korea. As for our plants in India, around 85% of their electricity comes from renewable energy sources thanks to an external power company, and 3.2MW-scale solar panels have already been installed there. Roughly 19MW of electricity is produced by solar panels in our Korean plants in Asan and Ulsan, and the battery ESS is connected to the energy generated by solar power.
We are going beyond eco-friendly plants and building smart plants
Here at HMC, we believe that we can create a truly eco-friendly mobility ecosystem by advancing manufacturing technology and innovating the existing platforms. Together with our partners, we are building a Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center in Singapore, otherwise known as HMGICS. This center will serve as a hub for creating an innovative mobility ecosystem, and research on the mobility-related value chain including vehicle delivery, test-driving, and other services.
A human-friendly working environment will be created by M-CHoRD, which is HMC’s intelligent manufacturing platform that functions as a multi-vehicle production system with the ability to respond to market changes in a flexible way based on demand, human-robot cooperation system, musculoskeletal disease prevention technology, tutoring system for workers, and more. In addition, the HMGICS will evolve into a net-zero manufacturing hub through solar and hydrogen power generation. In order to promote the transition to clean mobility, we will be launching a new BaaS (Battery as a Service) business, alongside implementing our vision for future mobility vision with the introduction of our Smart City, UAM and Robotics technologies.
