Hyundai Motor Group forms a new partnership focused on advancements in urban transportation technology and innovation.
Hyundai Motor Group Announces New Alliance for Urban Mobility Revolution
Hyundai Motor Group has taken a significant step towards revolutionizing urban transport with the establishment of the Next Urban Mobility Alliance (NUMA). The alliance, unveiled at the company's Pleos 25 conference, aims to focus on reshaping mobility through AI, software-defined vehicles (SDVs), and autonomous driving technologies.
The alliance, which comprises 31 member organizations, includes the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, private entities like Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation, and academic institutions such as Seoul National University. NUMA is a collaborative effort aimed at furthering the evolution of mobility and promoting inclusive mobility innovations.
At the NUMA launch event, Hyundai Motor Group presented various inclusive mobility prototypes, including AI-driven transport solutions and vehicles designed for individuals with mobility restrictions. The company is addressing transportation challenges in underserved regions and for individuals with mobility difficulties through initiatives like Shucle, an AI-based demand-responsive transport platform.
The Autonomous Vehicle Foundry, another component of the alliance, aims to supply electric vehicles (EVs) with autonomous driving capabilities to mobility services. This move is part of Hyundai Motor Group's commitment to realizing inclusive mobility through technology and driving a global mobility transformation.
The alliance is also focused on transforming local transportation systems with AI, implementing autonomous mobility-as-a-service, and broadening AI mobility to support smart city initiatives. NUMA's platform will facilitate technology demonstrations, policy harmonisation, and interdisciplinary cooperation to further these goals.
In addition to its work with NUMA, Hyundai Motor Group has enhanced its partnership with South Korean battery manufacturers LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI Company, and SK On Company. The focus is on the development of new safety standards for EVs.
