On Nov 5, the fifth China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicked off in Shanghai.  Celebrating the 20th anniversary of its entry into China, Hyundai Motor Group, along with its affiliates Hyundai Motor and Kia, has made an official debut at the CIIE with cutting-edge technologies and innovative products in the fields of hydrogen energy, electrification, imported cars and future mobility.

As an "old friend" participating in the CIIE for five consecutive years, Hyundai Motor Group not only became the largest auto brand exhibitor in the exhibition area for the fourth consecutive year, but also officially entered the "Exhibitor become Investor" zone for the fifth anniversary, which was established for the first time, to fully display the development achievements of Hyundai Motor Group's continuous roots and investment in China since its participation in the CIIE.

"Over the past 20 years, thanks to the tremendous opportunities brought by China's continued opening-up, Hyundai Motor Group has built a comprehensive system of capabilities in China, covering vehicle manufacturing, parts production and sales, steel, logistics, construction, finance, IT and cultural innovation, and has deeply integrated with Chinese society, Chinese market and Chinese customers." Lee Hyuk-jun, President of Hyundai Motor Group (China), said, "Standing at a new starting point and facing new opportunities, Hyundai Motor Group, as a model of Sino-South Korea economic and trade cooperation, will continue to be optimistic about China, invest in China, make every effort to promote the high-quality development of the group's business in China, and help China achieve the goal of 'double carbon' as soon as possible, and build a harmonious society of sustainable development."

A comprehensive hydrogen energy solution has been unveiled

Hydrogen energy is universally recognized as the "ultimate energy" and an important path to achieve "carbon neutrality" and "carbon peak". As an enterprise producing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in mass production, Hyundai Motor Group has taken advantage of the platform opportunity of the CIIF to not only continuously transform the world's leading hydrogen energy exhibits into commodities, but also transform from a hydrogen energy exhibitor into an investor in the field of hydrogen energy in China, taking the lead in introducing "all-round hydrogen energy solutions" into the Chinese market. At the CIIF, Hyundai Motor Group's world-leading hydrogen energy products, technologies and ecology, such as NEXO China, mass produced hydrogen Fuel Cell heavy truck XCIENT Fuel Cell and HTWO brand hydrogen fuel cell system, which were developed according to Chinese regulations and standards, were showcased at the CIIF, and created a pure and zero-carbon hydrogen energy experience space. To demonstrate the group's vision and commitment to help China build a hydrogen society.

The Chinese version of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle NEXO, which will be launched in China in the middle of this year, is already an "old friend" of the CIIE. It has a driving range of 550km(CLTC) when fully filled with hydrogen, and it only takes five minutes to recharge the hydrogen fuel, which is a perfect solution to the problems of long charging time and range anxiety of electric vehicles. In addition, since the hydrogen fuel cell system emits only water in its work, it can not only achieve true zero carbon emissions during driving, but also filter and remove 99.9% of inhalable particulate matter, effectively removing ultra-fine dust below PM2.5 and achieving the effect of purifying the surrounding air.

The XCIENT Fuel Cell, a hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck on the same stage, has traveled more than 5 million kilometers worldwide. Equipped with a 180kW fuel cell system consisting of two hydrogen fuel cells, the vehicle has a range of 400km and has been commercially deployed in markets including Switzerland, Germany and the United States. In the Chinese market, Hyundai Commercial Vehicle, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, has obtained China's hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle production qualification, and is currently actively exploring local production plans.

In addition, HTWO Guangzhou, Hyundai Motor Group's first overseas hydrogen fuel cell system research and development, production and sales base, will soon be completed and put into operation. Recently, based on "HTWO Guangzhou", Hyundai Motor Group has signed a letter of intent with relevant partners in the field of hydrogen energy in China. Through the joint establishment of a hydrogen energy joint venture, the company will build a demonstration area for driverless hydrogen vehicles, and carry out demonstration operation of hydrogen smart service, the company will continue to build a hydrogen energy ecology and help the high-quality development of China's hydrogen energy industry.

Cloud viewing, future travel, quality life, multi-dimensional exhibits fully convey the brand charm

At the booth of Hyundai Motor Group, where the exhibition area was the largest, not only XCIENT Fuel Cell, a hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck weighing more than 30 tons, but MobED(Mobile Eccentric Droid), a new concept small mobile platform occupying less than 0.5 square meters, was on display. As the most intelligent and integrated "quadruped robot" at the CIIE, MobED platform debuted in China for the first time. MobED platform is equipped with four eccentric wheels with independent suspension on a flat rectangular vehicle body. By freely adjusting wheelbase and steering Angle, Mobed platform can realize smooth movement, even on sloping or uneven roads, and can be used in multiple scenarios from unmanned driving to manned systems.

At the CIIF, Hyundai Motor Group, together with Youku and Koi Fun of China Ali Entertainment Co., LTD., jointly developed and launched Hyundai Motor Group's metacosmos space. Using leading artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other technologies, the offline booth "moved" into the metacosmos space, creating an immersive booth viewing experience, where visitors can enter the cloud booth without leaving home. You can also unlock the mysterious "digital twin space" by checking in at the Hyundai Motor Group exhibition area at the CIIE.

In addition, Hyundai Motor Group has fully demonstrated its innovative vision for future urban smart mobility through three mobility solutions, namely urban Air Mobility (UAM), personalized customized vehicle (PBV), and Hub integrating transportation and community activities, and accelerated its transformation into a "smart mobility solution provider".

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and South Korea and the 20th anniversary of Hyundai Motor Group's entry into China. Over the past 20 years, Hyundai Motor Group has developed together with China. In the future, Hyundai Motor Group will continue to increase investment in China, make full use of the world's leading hydrogen energy, electrification, autonomous driving and other mobility technologies, continue to deepen the Chinese market, to promote the group's high-quality development in China, and to help China build a sustainable and harmonious society.
