**Ulsan, Korea** – Hyundai Motor has achieved a significant milestone, reaching a global cumulative production of 100 million vehicles in its 57-year history. The company celebrated this accomplishment with a special ceremony at its Ulsan Plant, the birthplace of the Korean automobile industry.
The 100 millionth vehicle, an IONIQ 5 electric car, was delivered directly to a customer as a gesture of appreciation. This landmark achievement was attributed to Hyundai’s consistent commitment to innovation, customer focus, and global expansion.
“Reaching 100 million vehicles is a testament to the trust and support our customers have shown us,” said Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. “This milestone empowers us to continue our journey as a mobility game changer, leading the future of electrification.”
Hyundai’s success is driven by its diverse portfolio, including the premium Genesis brand, the high-performance N brand, and electric vehicles like the IONIQ 5. The company’s global presence has expanded significantly, with production facilities in Turkey, India, the United States, and the Czech Republic.
The Ulsan Plant, which began operations in 1968, is at the forefront of Hyundai’s electrification strategy, with an electric vehicle (EV) facility currently under construction.
Looking ahead, Hyundai is focused on developing advanced technologies, including AI, robotics, and smart factories. These innovations will be implemented in future production sites like Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA), further enhancing efficiency and sustainability.
This momentous achievement underscores Hyundai’s position as a leading global automaker, with a clear vision for the future of mobility.
