Electrification
Hyundai strives to open an era of sustainable future mobility with advanced electric vehicle technology.
Electrification
Currently, the transportation sector contributes to 20% of global carbon emissions - of which over 70% comes from road traffic.
Well aware of the urgency to go beyond emission reduction, Hyundai has set ambitious goals to counter this issue. By 2035, all vehicles sold in Europe will be 100% electrified, and by 2040, we aim to achieve a similar goal worldwide, bringing us closer to reaching our Zero Carbon goal.
Hyundai Motor Way
The Hyundai Motor Way constitutes Hyundai's pivotal electrification strategy aimed at delivering two million electric vehicles to the global market by 2030.This comprehensive strategy encompasses the adoption of the Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA), bolstering electric vehicle manufacturing capabilities, elevating battery proficiency, and establishing a value chain spanning all sectors.
[The introduction of the IMA] The development of a dedicated next-generation EV platform to replace the existing E-GMP EV platform. [Srengthening electric vehicle production capabilities] The construction of new EV factories to expand EV production and optimize capacity. The repurposing of existing internal combustion engine facilities for electric vehicle production, resulting in cost and time savings. [The enhancement of battery capabilities and the fortification of the entire battery value chain] Encompassment of the stable sourcing of battery materials, enhancement of design proficiency, and the development of cutting-edge batteries. Hyundai is committed to proactively inheriting its wealth of automotive industry expertise, technical acumen, and brand legacy. Hyundai will leverage these strengths as a distinctive strategy to position itself at the forefront of the electrification era.
EV Brand : IONIQ
Hyundai embarked on its electric vehicle journey with the SONATA Electric in 1991, marking the beginning of its electric car development. Over the years, Hyundai accumulated expertise, conducting trials of high-speed electric vehicles like the BLUE ON Electric in 2010. In 2016, Hyundai introduced the IONIQ, its first dedicated eco-friendly model, offering three types of electric vehicles: hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicle (BEV). In 2018, Hyundai introduced the long-range, KONA Electric, signifying a step forward. The pivotal moment arrived in 2021 with the launch of the IONIQ brand, dedicated exclusively for electric vehicles, ushering in a brand new era for electric cars. IONIQ stands as Hyundai's dedicated electric vehicle brand, building upon the legacy of the original IONIQ known for its future-forward and clean mobility technology. The word IONIQ combines 'Ion,' signifying energy generated through electricity, and 'Unique,' highlighting Hyundai's distinctive approach. The IONIQ brand is committed to enhancing the electric experience, not just by focusing on electric vehicle technology but also by delivering innovative mobility experiences to customers. The IONIQ lineup includes the midsize CUV IONIQ 5, introduced in 2021, followed by the IONIQ 6 in 2022. Hyundai plans to launch the next model in 2024, continuing its journey toward electrified and connected living.
The IONIQ series, which not only improves outstanding performance but also increases the freedom of differential car design, proves its marketability by winning the Global Award and makes us look forward to the upcoming model.
E-GMP (Electric global modular platform)
One of the most revolutionary aspects of the IONIQ lineup is Hyundai's very own E-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform). This platform stands out due to its modular and standardized design, allowing for versatile configurations across different vehicle types. The E-GMP features a smart low-mounted battery placement in the central underbody, ensuring stable driving performance and improved collision safety, regardless of the vehicle model.
The E-GMP additionally introduces Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology. This means it can supply power to various electronic devices even while the vehicle is moving. This innovation enables passengers to use their household gadgets inside the car, offering convenient flexibility wherever they go.
