Hyundai unveils 2030 roadmap targeting 5.55 million vehicle sales
Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled an ambitious long-term strategic roadmap during its 2026 CEO Investor Day, aiming to transform into a physical AI company. The automaker targets annual global sales of 5.55 million vehicles and an operating profit margin exceeding 9% by 2030.
To achieve this, Hyundai plans to launch or refresh over 100 models globally, including significant expansions in North America, Europe, India, and China. A key component of its electrification strategy is the introduction of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREV), such as the 2027 Santa Fe, which combines electric driving with a gasoline-powered range extender to mitigate charging concerns.
Technological advancements are central to the plan. Hyundai intends to implement Level 2+ autonomous driving in its first mass-produced software-defined vehicles (SDV) by 2028. To support AI development, the company plans to operate a 100MW AI data center in Saemangeum by 2029, capable of housing over 50,000 GPUs. Additionally, the company is developing new NCM battery cells designed to reduce production costs by approximately 30% while improving charging speeds by 40%.
Despite the ambitious targets, market reaction has been mixed, with some investors driving a recent decline in stock value due to concerns over the pace of growth and the complexity of managing multiple powertrain types.
