Hyundai Motor Group partners with Oman for hydrogen and electric mobility solutions under Vision 2040. Key points. * Hyundai Motor Group collaborates with Oman to develop hydrogen and electric mobility solutions. * Pilot project includes hydrogen-powered buses and ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure. * Oman aims to diversify its economy while reducing hydrocarbon dependence. * Success of initial projects could lead to wider implementation of clean mobility in Oman. Hyundai Motor Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Oman to enhance the country's transportation system, aligning with Oman's Vision 2040 which emphasizes clean, sustainable mobility. This partnership, formalized in a memorandum of understanding on September 3, is set to launch innovative projects focusing on hydrogen and electric vehicle (EV) technologies. The initial initiative will see the introduction of hydrogen-powered city buses in Muscat, operated by the state-owned transport operator Mwasalat. This will involve a dedicated "Green Route" aimed at assessing the viability of hydrogen mobility in public transport. The goal is to develop operational expertise and create the necessary infrastructure for future hydrogen mobility solutions across Oman. In addition to the hydrogen buses, the partnership also encompasses the development of EV charging infrastructure. Oman Oil Marketing Company (OOMCO) plans to deploy a 240-kW ultra-fast EV charger at one of its fuel stations in Halban, supplied by Hyundai Kefico. This charger will undergo a six-month performance evaluation to gauge customer demand and feasibility for a broader charging network. The collaboration highlights the strategic direction Oman is taking - moving beyond merely importing vehicles to creating a comprehensive ecosystem for clean mobility. This approach aligns with Oman's ambitions to diversify its economy away from reliance on hydrocarbons, positioning the nation as a key player in the hydrogen and clean-energy sectors. Hyundai Motor Group, recognized for its multi-faceted clean-mobility technologies, is well-suited to support these ambitions, as it can provide not just vehicles but also the related charging solutions necessary for a modern transportation infrastructure. Hyundai executives expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership, noting that it represents a significant step toward transforming Oman's vision for smart cities into reality. The pilot projects, while initially limited in scope, hold substantial potential. If successful, they could pave the way for an expanded role of Hyundai's hydrogen and electric technologies in the country's transportation landscape. Overall, the partnership marks a critical turning point for Oman as it tests the practical applications of clean mobility solutions. For Hyundai, it offers an entry point into the emerging Gulf markets for future mobility and reinforces the company's commitment to sustainable transport solutions.

Lee meets Hyundai Motor chief for possible investment talks. Published: Sept. 3, 2026 - 18:20:39 President Lee Jae Myung has met Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung in a closed-door meeting, sources said Thursday, with the two likely discussing investment matters. The meeting on Wednesday was presumed to have focused on Hyundai's prior pledge to invest 9 trillion won (US$6.6 billion) to establish an industrial hub for artificial intelligence, robots and energy in the Saemangeum reclaimed area on South Korea's southwestern coast by 2029. The meeting likely also included discussions on Hyundai's contributions to the government's high-profile "megaproject" investment initiative, aimed at nurturing a new semiconductor cluster and facilities for AI data centers. Lee has previously met with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, likely in the same vein. (Yonhap)
Hyundai Motor Company unveiled an ambitious growth strategy at its 2026 CEO Investor Day, targeting 5.55 million global vehicle sales by 2030. The automaker plans over 100 product launches by 2030, with electrified vehicles reaching 60% of its sales mix, up from 23% in 2025. The company will introduce its first Extended Range Electric Vehicle models from early 2027, offering more than 600 miles of range.

Hyundai Motor and its labour union have reached a tentative wage agreement after 17 rounds of negotiations, ending a year of industrial action that disrupted production. Monthly base pay will increase by Won100,000 ($72.20), with a performance bonus exceeding 400% of monthly salary and a lump-sum payment of Won12.5m. The union, representing 400,000 workers, conducted 60 hours of strikes, including a full-day walkout on 21 August 2026—the first in a decade. The disruption resulted in roughly 55,200 vehicles in lost output, with forgone sales exceeding Won2.3tn. Union members will vote on the agreement on 31 August. The deal also addresses retirement age extension and technology adoption, including plans to introduce humanoid robots at Hyundai's Georgia plant from 2028.
