Hyundai Mobis has unveiled 65 mobility technologies slated for commercialisation within the next two to three years. This milestone achievement, according to the Korean supplier, results from concentrating this year's record-high R&D investment of approximately 1.7 trillion KRW on electrification and electronics.
Hyundai Mobis’ R&D strategy aims to proactively secure future competitiveness in the rapidly evolving global automotive industry.
Earlier this month, on October 4, Hyundai Mobis held the ‘2024 R&D Tech Day’ at its Uiwang Research Center in Gyeonggi Province. Tech Day is an event where Hyundai Mobis traditionally showcases its R&D achievements to its clients every other year. This year, however, the company opened the event to external stakeholders.
The Electrification Research Building, where the Tech Day was held, is a specialized research facility dedicated to next-generation electrification technologies. 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.
The exhibition featured seven themes and presented 65 key technologies in sectors such as electrification, electronics, and safety, including 14 world-first innovations.
Of the total 65 exhibits, 21 were electronic components, the highest proportion. The majority showcased technologies in autonomous driving, advanced sensors, parking assistance systems, next-generation displays, and connectivity encompassing infotainment innovations.
Key products included a high-performance front radar with an extended detection range of 350 metres, an infrared camera with improved recognition capabilities under adverse weather conditions, generative AI specialized for vehicle care, and a 3D display with an expanded field of view.
Electrification components were presented in next-generation product lines tailored to market trends and customer requirements. Notable examples included in-wheel motors capable of crab steering, next-generation drive systems for compact trucks specialized for urban transportation, and bidirectional ICCUs with high power density.
In the safety and chassis sectors, Hyundai Mobis showcased world-first technologies in major core component areas such as airbags, lamps, braking, and steering systems. Highlights included a passenger-side airbag designed to reduce brain injuries during collisions, communication headlamps that interact with surrounding road conditions using HD LEDs, a third-generation regenerative braking system, and a rear-wheel steering system.
Additionally, other standout innovations included a core device made from nickel-free metal powder without using expensive rare metals like nickel for inductors, ultra-high-speed battery charging cooling technology, e-corner systems enabling crab steering, and the next-generation infotainment integrated system M.Vics 4.0.
