Recently, the global automobile market has seen a rapid decline in global demand due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the digital transformation in daily life is accelerating. At the same time, agendas affecting humanity as a whole, such as protectionism and rapid environmental climate change, are reshaping the future landscape of the automobile industry.

Chairman Chung emphasized, "The automobile industry also requires greater change and innovation to build a new paradigm ecosystem," adding, "Hyundai Motor Group aims to realize humanity’s dream of 'safe and free mobility and peaceful life,' share its fruits with customers worldwide, and become a beloved company."

For the free mobility of humanity, Hyundai Motor Group plans to rapidly transition from conventional internal combustion engine vehicles to eco-friendly mobility, contributing to the overall development of our society. This can be seen both as technological advancement providing convenience to humanity and as an effort to protect the environment.

To this end, Hyundai Motor Group is accelerating the development of eco-friendly mobility such as hydrogen fuel cell technology, Urban Air Mobility (UAM), robotics, and smart cities.
