A year of innovation and progress
HMGICS, Hyundai Motor Group's first global innovation hub for future mobility innovation, is taking the lead across numerous fields, driving advanced mobility solutions in manufacturing technology, R&D, sales, and customer experience. Over the past year, HMGICS has achieved key milestones and showcased success in multiple areas.
The implementation of a highly intelligent and automated cell-based production system has led to significant advancements in logistics and assembly automation, powered by robotics, AI, and digital twin technology. HMGICS plans to establish a system capable of producing various types of mobility solutions, including electric vehicles, Purpose-Built Vehicles (PBVs), Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), and robots.
The innovative manufacturing technologies developed at HMGICS will be gradually applied to factories globally, including Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in
These innovations are setting new benchmarks for the development of future mobility solutions and have contributed to the 2023 production of the Hyundai IONIQ 5—the first locally built EV in Singapore—and the 2024 debut of the Hyundai IONIQ 6, both of which have garnered global acclaim for their design, technology, and eco-conscious manufacturing.
The innovation at HMGICS goes beyond manufacturing and extends into the realm of customer experience enhancement. The facility has redefined the customer journey with immersive Discovery Tours, which allow visitors to enjoy a 3D virtual reality tour of the EV production process, take test rides on the Skytrack and explore the site's two-story vertical smart farm.
The smart farm within HMGICS supplies produce to Na Oh, a unique Korean restaurant that opened at HMGICS in June based on a seed-to-table concept and led by three-Michelin-Star Chef Corey Lee. This initiative adds a cultural dimension to the broader HMGICS journey, focusing on culinary excellence and enhancing the overall customer experience.
HMGICS also actively engages with the local community by nurturing talent and collaborating with research institutions and universities. In 2024, it increased its local workforce by 30 percent, emphasizing R&D and engineering roles. The center also partners with local institutions to offer internships and practical learning opportunities in advanced manufacturing and innovative technologies.
The Group will continue to drive innovation and foster a world where businesses and society grow together. With HMGICS at the forefront of this journey, it is committed to embracing continuous transformation to achieve sustainable growth, fueled by technological innovation and the creation of meaningful social value.
