Hyundai Mobis has revealed 65 innovative technologies set for market launch within the next 2-3 years. This achievement stems from a record-high R&D investment of approximately 1.7 trillion KRW, focused on electrification and electronics. The company is committed to maintaining its R&D strategy, aiming to secure a strong position in the fast-changing global automotive industry.
On October 4th, Hyundai Mobis hosted its ‘2024 R&D Tech Day’ at the Uiwang Research Center in Gyeonggi Province. This event, traditionally held for clients, was opened to the public this year, highlighting the company’s confidence in its mobility-focused R&D achievements. The event was hosted at the Electrification Research Building, a specialized facility completed last year, dedicated to next-gen electrification technologies, consolidating R&D, testing, and quality control.
The theme for this year’s Tech Day was ‘Collective Inspiration,’ symbolizing collaboration across R&D departments to deliver comprehensive mobility solutions. The exhibition displayed 65 key technologies, covering areas like electrification, electronics, and safety, including 14 world-first innovations. Hyundai Mobis emphasized that its success is driven by advancing projects aligned with mobility trends, fostering a flexible R&D culture, and attracting top talent through substantial investments.
Hyundai Mobis Announces Three Core Electrification Strategies, Focusing on Global Leadership
During the event, Hyundai Mobis introduced its three core strategies for electrification: drive systems, battery systems, and power conversion systems. Building on years of expertise in hybrid battery systems, motors, and inverters since 2011, the company aims to lead the market with cutting-edge electrification solutions tailored to specific components, systems, and advanced technologies like AAM and robotics.
Among the developments, the 3-in-1 integrated drive system combines motors, reduction gears, and inverters, focusing on miniaturization, high-efficiency design, and power module technology. In battery systems, Hyundai Mobis is pioneering thermal management technologies and advanced cell-to-pack configurations for higher energy density. Additionally, the power conversion strategy includes next-gen charging control units that enable vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity for electric vehicles, enhancing communication with infrastructure and smart home systems.
Expanding Global Reach and Driving Innovation through Major Exhibitions
Hyundai Mobis continues to participate in global events like CES to enhance brand visibility and secure international orders. This year’s R&D Tech Day featured 65 exhibits, including 21 electronics innovations in autonomous driving, advanced sensors, and infotainment. Highlights included high-performance radars, enhanced infrared cameras, generative AI for vehicle care, and 3D displays.
The company also showcased breakthrough technologies such as in-wheel motors for urban transport, next-gen airbag systems, regenerative braking, and innovative rear-wheel steering. Other notable innovations included a rare-metal-free inductor device, ultra-fast battery cooling, and the M.Vics 4.0 infotainment system, all of which drew significant attention from the audience.
