Hyundai Claims To Be "Driving The Future Of Electrified Mobility" - CleanTechnica

Hyundai Motor Group positions itself as a key innovator in the future of electrified mobility, emphasizing its advanced research and development efforts at the Namyang R&D Center in Hwaseong, South Korea. This facility has been instrumental in developing award-winning electric vehicles (EVs) such as the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and 6, as well as the Kia EV9 and EV3, which have collectively earned 12 World Car Awards since 2022. Hyundai highlights its focus on aerodynamic optimization, environmental testing, driving dynamics, and creating quiet, refined EV experiences, though many of these efforts align with industry standards rather than groundbreaking advancements. A notable highlight is Hyundai’s Aerodynamic Testing Facility, a large-scale wind tunnel setup designed to simulate real driving conditions and optimize EV efficiency through ultra-low drag technologies. The company’s experimental ‘Aero Challenge Car’ prototype showcases innovative active aerodynamic features—such as an active cowl cover, rear spoiler, side blades, and rear diffuser—that achieve a
