Hyundai Motor Company has announced that it has surpassed 100 million units of global cumulative production. This achievement was accomplished in just 57 years since the company\u2019s foundation, making it one of the fastest in the global automotive industry. In honor of this milestone, Hyundai Motor held a ceremony at its Ulsan Plant in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company today delivered its 100 millionth and first vehicle, an Ioniq 5 EV, directly to a customer. The vehicle rolled off the final inspection conveyor belt at Ulsan Plant\u2019s shipping centre during a special handover ceremony. The event also featured a celebratory display commemorating \u2018100 million and 1\u2019, symbolizing Hyundai Motor\u2019s commitment to pushing one step further with its past accomplishments as the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReaching global cumulative production of 100 million vehicles is a meaningful milestone that was possible thanks to our customers around the world who have chosen and supported Hyundai Motor since the very beginning,\u201d said Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. \u201cTaking on bold challenges and being in constant pursuit of innovation has enabled us to achieve rapid growth and will empower us to take \u2018one step further\u2019 toward another 100 million units as a mobility game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ulsan Plant, which began operations in 1968, holds significant historical importance as the \u2018birthplace of the development of the Korean automobile industry.\u2019 Notably, the plant produced Korea\u2019s first mass-produced independent model, the Pony, in 1975. Currently, the Ulsan Plant is a central hub for electrification, and the company is establishing a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) facility at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEach and every employee at Hyundai Motor has contributed to the accumulation of 100 million units through their hard work and dedication,\u201d said Dong Seock Lee, President and Head of Domestic Productions and Chief Safety Officer at Hyundai Motor Company. \u201cThis auspicious occasion is just the first step toward the future era of electrification that Hyundai Motor will lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This achievement follows Hyundai Motor\u2019s continuous growth, fueled by the launch of the premium brand Genesis, the high-performance brand N, and the introduction of EVs such as the IONIQ 5 based on the dedicated electric global modular platform (E-GMP). The company\u2019s global footprint has expanded with production facilities in Turkey, India, the U.S., and the Czech Republic, contributing to record achievements including surpassing 50 million vehicles manufactured in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
