Hyundai Motor Group is executing significant global investment strategies to expand manufacturing and technological capabilities in key markets. In the United States, the company announced a $500 million investment in its Montgomery, Alabama facility. This expansion focuses on transitioning Tucson Hybrid production from South Korea to the U.S. to mitigate tariff risks, while also developing new engines and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrains. The company aims to increase North American production capacity by 500,000 units annually and reach 80% local parts procurement by 2030. Concurrently, Hyundai announced a $15.5 billion investment plan in India spanning 2026 to 2032. Following a meeting between Executive Chair Euisun Chung and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the group detailed plans to expand manufacturing capacity for both Hyundai and Kia in India and strengthen local supply chains. This initiative includes $700 million for a research and development center featuring a vehicle testing track. To manage these investments, Hyundai will establish a dedicated investment entity in India and plans to commercialize an electric three-wheeler, the ‘i3W’, in collaboration with TVS Motor Company by late 2027. Further details of the Indian strategy include a goal to increase parts localization to 90% by 2030 and utilize the region as a global export hub for the ‘Global South’, including Africa and the Middle East. The group intends to introduce 26 new models and updates by 2030, with potential plans to bring the Genesis luxury brand to India in 2027. Specific targets for the Indian expansion include increasing the Pune plant's capacity to 320,000 units by 2030.
