Recently, Michael Stewart, senior manager of Hyundai Motor America, denied the previous rumors of the cancellation of the engine research and development department, and said that Hyundai Motor will be committed to providing customers around the world with a strong powertrain portfolio, including high-efficiency engines and zero-emission motors.
Last September, Hyundai motor announced that it would become a pure electric brand in Europe by 2035, and Europe will be the first region in the world to abandon the use of engines. By 2040, Hyundai aims to sell only electric vehicles in most of the world's major markets. By then, annual sales of pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles will reach 80%. That said, Hyundai is still a long way from full electrification, and it's no surprise that this decision is not surprising.
In addition, in response to the development of electrification, Hyundai Motor has also responded in recent days: the next-generation fuel cell development and the route of electrification of Genisesys have not changed. In other words, hyundai cars will launch a variety of different powertrains according to different market needs.
