The HMG also refers to the group of affiliated companies interconnected by complex shareholding arrangements, with Hyundai Motor Company regarded as the de facto representative of the group. It is the third-largest South Korean chaebol, after Samsung and SK Group, related to other Hyundai-name industries following a specialized development split and restructuring which resulted in Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, Hyundai Development Company Group, Hyundai Department Store Group, and Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance.
History
editThe group was formed through the purchase of 51% of Kia by Hyundai Motor Company in 1998. As of 2011, Hyundai owns 33.7%[5] of Kia Motors.
On 22 May 2022, the Hyundai Motor Group announced the company would invest an additional $5 billion in the United States by the year 2025. The investment would strengthen collaboration with US firms in areas such as; urban air mobility, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The investments were announced during a visit to South Korea by President Biden.[6]
Businesses
editThe largest member of the chaebol, Hyundai Motor Company, has a stake in Kia, and they are the largest and second largest car manufacturers in the country respectively. Following several years of rapid growth, the Group sold 8.01 million vehicles in 2015, falling short of its sales target.[7] In 2017 the Group sold 7.25 million vehicles, the lowest in five years at that point.[8] According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, it was the world's third-largest vehicle manufacturer by production volume in 2017, behind Japanese Toyota and German Volkswagen Group.[9][needs update] In 2023, it maintained its No. 3 position in the global market while widening its gap with the fourth-ranked Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.[10]
On 17 June 2024, Hyundai Motor India announced its commencement of an initial public offering (IPO) process to list on the Mumbai-based Bombay Stock Exchange.[11][12]

Also, the 2nd generation fuel cell stacks, with the power of average 85 kW to maximum 95 kW, are located above the front axle. PE System that consists of two motor drives, decelerator, inverter, and battery, helps to exercise power during the high speed or dynamic driving.
