Hyundai Mobis has unveiled 65 mobility technologies that can be commercialized within the next two to three years.
The landmark achievement is owned to the company dedicating record-high R&D investment this year worth approximately 1.7 trillion won on electrification and electronics.
Hyundai Mobis remains committed to its R&D strategy, which aims to proactively secure future competitiveness in the rapidly evolving global automotive industry.
Hyundai Mobis hosted the ‘2024 R&D Tech Day’ at its Uiwang Research Center in Gyeonggi Province.
Tech Day is an event where Hyundai Mobis traditionally unveils its research and development achievements to clients every other year.
Participants experience next-generation mobility technologies during the ‘2024 R&D Tech Day,’ hosted by Hyundai Mobis, at its Uiwang Research Center in Gyeonggi Province.
This year, however, the company opened the event to outside stakeholders, showing its confidence in its future mobility R&D development outcomes.
The Electrification Research Building, where the Tech Day was held, is a specialized research facility dedicated to the next-generation of electrification technologies, was completed at the end of last year.
It plays a pivotal role by consolidating the development of key electrification components, including R&D, testing and evaluation, and quality analysis, all under one roof.
Hyundai Mobis chose ‘Collective Inspiration’ as the theme for this Tech Day, symbolizing the integrated collaboration across all related departments in R&D to provide a comprehensive mobility integrated solution.
The exhibition featured seven themes and presented 65 key technologies in sectors such as electrification, electronics, and safety, including 14 world-first innovations.
A Hyundai Mobis representative said, “These achievements were made possible by advancing leading projects aligned with mobility trends, fostering a flexible R&D culture, and securing top talents through substantial investments.”
On the same day, Hyundai Mobis announced its three core development strategies for electrification components: drive systems, battery systems, and power conversion systems.
Building on the expertise gained since developing hybrid battery systems, motors, and inverters in 2011, Hyundai Mobis aims to lead the industry with electrification solutions specialized for unit components, systems, Advanced Automotive Mobility (AAM), and robotics.
Lee Young-Kook, vice president of Hyundai Mobis’ Electric Powertrain Engineering Division said, “Despite external environmental changes such as the Chasm, hundreds of researchers at the Uiwang Research Center are diligently pursuing uninterrupted R&D activities.”
He added, “Hyundai Mobis’s competitiveness in electrification components is recognized as top-tier by global customers, and many international clients, including those from Europe, are expected to attend this year’s R&D Tech Day.”
Among Hyundai Mobis’ three core electrification component strategies, the drive system is represented by a 3-in-1 integrated drive system combining motors, reduction gears, and inverters.
Key focuses include miniaturizing the system, high-efficiency electromagnetic design, oil cooling, and power module technology.
Building on this, specialized drive systems for PBVs and AAMs are also under development.
The unprecedented number of exhibits unveiled at this year’s R&D Tech Day is a testament to this strategy. Of the 65 exhibits, 21 were electronic components, the highest segment.
The majority showcased technologies in autonomous driving, advanced sensors, parking assistance systems, next-generation displays, and connectivity encompassing infotainment innovations.
Hyundai Mobis becme the first Asian automotive supplier to obtain cybersecurity certification in Europe, where it is leading the global automotive security standards.
Cybersecurity has emerged as a critically important area as the proportion of software in vehicles increases and user-customized data processing becomes more prevalent.
