SEOUL, December 1, 2025 – Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) is set to co-host the Hydrogen Council Global CEO Summit in Seoul from December 2 to 4, bringing together global leaders to discuss the future of hydrogen as a key pillar of the global energy transition.

As Co-Chair, Hyundai Motor Group works closely with member companies to accelerate the development and expansion of the global hydrogen ecosystem.
