President Cho Sung-hwan of Hyundai Mobis was elected to head the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international body setting general rules of global commerce and trade.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) said President Cho Sung-hwan of Hyundai Mobis was elected as the next chairman of ISO at the 44th ISO General Assembly.
The event took place in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, from Sept. 19 to Sept. 23.
ISO is an institution, established in 1937, responsible for developing international standards in general industry areas, such as automobile, shipbuilding and nuclear power.
Korea entered the ISO in 1963. It is the first time the nation was elected as ISO chair, since the country served as a Council member for more than 20 years and ranked eighth in terms of international standardization performance.
Korea’s acceptance of the ISO chairmanship is expected to firm up her standing as a standardization leader country.
President Cho of Hyundai Mobis has been recognized for an in-depth understanding of international standardization and leadership proved with outstanding management outcomes.
Cho was elected in a fierce competition with a Chinese candidate.
President Cho will take office as ISO chairman in 2024 after he serves as ISO chairman-elect with the incumbent Chairman Ulrika Franke. Cho’s term will end in 2025.
President Cho, born in 1961, graduated from Seoul National University Machinery Department and Cho who obtained a doctorate from Stanford University of the United States is a seasoned expert.

Mobis Supplies Chassis-Modules for European Luxury Automaker’s EVs in US
Hyundai Mobis is beginning to supply chassis modules for Mercedes-Benz AG, with luxury and performance automotive brands.
The module technology and quality competitiveness of Mobis are now highly recognized by global automakers. Mobis becomes the first non-European supplier for chassis module for the OEM.
Mobis is now fully operating its new production facility in McCalla, Alabama. The company has built the new site for mixed-model production of chassis modules for 4 different electric SUVs.
The chassis-module is a generic term for the parts assembled under the car body, e.g., the steering, braking and suspension system.
It also refers to the set of parts for these systems assembled on the frame.
Mobis has been accumulated over the past 20 plus years for the module development and assembling experience worldwide.
The last several years of R&D and pre-production periods for this new project became a good example of the customer’s satisfaction.
Following the client’s development plans step by step, Mobis strived to concentrate its own R&D efforts with Mercedes-Benz AG to provide the best chassis module solutions.
Now the technology and quality control capability of Mobis are recognized by the most prestigious automotive brand worldwide.
In the process of landing this contract, Mobis held multiple technical briefings and touring sessions with the customer and showed the entire mass production process of the module assembly in Korea and Europe.
“We hope to maintain long-term partnerships with Mercedes-Benz AG,” said Mobis CEO Sung Hwan Cho.
“We intend to increase trust with customers based on our excellent technical experience and stable supply capacity.”
