History

CHUNG JU-YUNG founded the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company in 1947. Hyundai Motor Company was later established in 1967. The

company's first model, the Cortina, was released in cooperation with Ford Motor Company in 1968.When Hyundai wanted to develop their own car ,

they hired George Turnbull in February 1974, the former Managing Director of Austin Morris at British Leyland. He in turn hired five other top British car

engineers. They were Kenneth Barnett body design, engineers John Simpson and Edward Chapman, John Crosthwaite ex-BRM as chassis engineer and Peter Slater as chief development engineer. In 1975, the Pony, the first Korean car, was released, with styling by Giorgio Giugiaro of Ital Design and powertrain

technology provided by Japan's Mitsubishi Motors. Exports began in the following year to Ecuador and soon thereafter to the Benelux countries.

In 1984, Hyundai exported the Pony to Canada, but not to the United States, because the Pony didn't pass emissions standards there. Canadian sales greatly

exceeded expectations, and it was at one point the top-selling car on the Canadian market. In 1985, the one millionth Hyundai cars were built.

In 1986, Hyundai began to sell cars in the United States, and the Excel was nominated as "Best Product" by Fortune magazine, largely because of its

affordability. The company began to produce models with its own technology in 1988, beginning with the midsize Sonata. In the spring of 1990, aggregate

production of Hyundai automobiles reached the four million mark.In 1991, the company succeeded in developing its first proprietary gasoline engine, the four-cylinder Alpha, and also its own transmission, thus paving the way for

technological independence.

In 1996, Hyundai Motor India Limited was established with a production plant in Irungattukottai near Chennai, India.

In 1998, Hyundai began to overhaul its image in an attempt to establish itself as a world-class brand. Chung Ju Yung transferred leadership of Hyundai Motor

to his son, Chung Mong Koo, in 1999. Hyundai's parent company, Hyundai Motor Group, invested heavily in the quality, design, manufacturing, and long-term research of its vehicles. It added a 10-year or 100,000-mile (160,000 km)

warranty to cars sold in the United States and launched an aggressive marketing campaign.

In 2004, Hyundai was ranked second in "initial quality" in a survey/study by J.D. Power and Associates.Hyundai is now one of the top 100 most valuable brands

worldwide.Since 2002, Hyundai has also been one of the worldwide official sponsors of the FIFA World Cup.

In 2006, the South Korean government initiated an investigation of Chung Mong Koo's practices as head of Hyundai, suspecting him of corruption. On 28 April 2006, Chung was arrested, and charged for embezzlement of 100 billion South Korean won (US$106 million) As a result, Hyundai Vice Chairman and CEO, Kim Dong-jin, replaced him as head of the company. On 30 September

2011, Yang Seung Suk announced his retirement as CEO of Hyundai Motor Co. In the interim replacement period, Chung Mong-koo and Kim Eok-jo will divide

the duties of the CEO position.

Research and development:

Hyundai has 6 centres worldwide, located in Korea (three offices), Germany, Japan and India. Additionally, there is an American design centre in California

that develops designs for US markets.

Hyundai has made an app with augmented reality, showing users how to operate and maintain the car.

Business:

In 1998, after a shake-up in the Korean auto industry caused by overambitious expansion and the Asian financial crisis, Hyundai acquired the majority of rival

Kia Motors. Currently Hyundai owns 33,88% of Kia Motors.

In 2000, the company established a strategic alliance with DaimlerChrysler and severed its partnership with the Hyundai Group. In 2001, the Daimler-Hyundai Truck Corporation was formed. In 2004, however, DaimlerChrysler divested its

interest in the company by selling its 10.5% stake for $900 million.

Hyundai has invested in manufacturing plants in North America, India, the Czech Republic, Russia, China and Turkey as well as research and development centres in Europe, Asia, North America and the Pacific Rim. In 2004, Hyundai

Motor Company had $57.2 billion in sales in South Korea making it the country's second largest corporation, or chaebol. Worldwide sales in 2005 reached 2,533,695 units, an 11 percent increase over the previous year. In

2011, Hyundai sold 4.05 million cars worldwide and the Hyundai Motor Group was the world's fourth largest automaker behind GM, Volkswagen and Toyota -

a distinction it earned when it surpassed Ford Auto Group in 2009. Hyundai vehicles are sold in 193 countries through some 5,000 dealerships.

The Hyundai brand power continues to rise as it was ranked 65th in the 2007 Best Global Brands by Interbrand and BusinessWeek survey, with brand value

estimated at $5.0 billion. Public perception of the Hyundai brand has been transformed as a result of dramatic improvements in the quality of Hyundai vehicles. As of 2011, it is the world's fastest growing car brand for two years

running.

Global Operations Employing over 78,000 people worldwide, Hyundai Motor is implementing a new global policy aimed at localization. This includes product development, design, sales, marketing, and consumer services to satisfy local customers’

tastes as well as that of the global market.

Currently Hyundai Motor has six overseas plants in the U.S., India, China, Turkey, the Czech Republic and Russia. The company will add a seventh plant

by 2012, in Brazil. Hyundai Motor today has a combined global production capacity of about 3.91 million units a year (Korea Domestic: 1.86 million /

Overseas: 2.05 million).

Korea Production

Hyundai has three plants in Korea that have a combined capacity of about 1.86 million units a year. The plants are located in Ulsan, Asan and Jeonju.

The Ulsan plant is the world’s single largest automobile plant. The mammoth-sized Ulsan complex sits on 1,200 acres and is Hyundai Motor’s main

production plant, comprising five independent plants. It employs over 34,000 workers capable of producing 5,600 vehicles daily. The plant also has its own

port where up to three 42,000 ton ships can anchor at the same time. The plant is the birthplace of the Korean automobile industry and is a self-

contained facility that operates its own fire station, hospital and security vehicles. The plant is also equipped with cutting-edge facilities to protect the environment, such as a waste water and sewage treatment facilities securing

Hyundai Motor’s position as an eco-friendly company.

The Asan Plant, which mainly produces passenger vehicles for export, rests on 440 acres with a 4 million sq. ft. building that consists of production lines for

machine press, auto frames, paint, assembly, engine and a materials plant. It is an entirely self-contained, independent automobile production complex that is

capable of producing 260,000 mid- to large-size passenger vehicles annually.

The Jeonju Plant occupies a total of 317 acres of land and has 4.3 million sq. ft. in production space. It specializes in producing mid- to large-sized buses of 2.5

tons or more, trucks, and specialty vehicles. The Jeonju plant is capable of

producing 70,000 units per year and in terms of the plant’s scale, it is deemed to be the world’s largest commercial vehicle production plant.

Hyundai Motor India Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Company in India. It is the second largest automobile manufacturer in India.

Hyundai Motor India Limited was formed on 6 May 1996 by the Hyundai Motor Company of South Korea. When Hyundai Motor Company entered

the Indian Automobile Market in 1996 the Hyundai brand was almost unknown throughout India. During the entry of Hyundai in 1996, there were only five

major automobile manufacturers in India, i.e. Maruti, Hindustan, Premier, Tata and Mahindra. Daewoo had entered the

Indian automobile market with Cielo just three years back while Ford, Opel and Honda had entered less than a year back.

For more than a decade till Hyundai arrived, Maruti Suzuki had near monopoly over the passenger cars segment because Tata

Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra were solely utility and commercial vehicle manufacturers, while Hindustan and Premier both built outdated and

uncompetitive products.

HISTORY: HMIL's first car, the Hyundai Santro was launched on 23 September 1998 and

was a runaway success. Within a few months of its inception HMIL became the second largest automobile manufacturer and the largest automobile exporter in India. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of

Hyundai Motor Company (HMC), South Korea and is the largest passenger car exporter and the second largest car manufacturer in India. HMIL presently markets 10 models - Eon, i10, Grand i10, Xcent, Elite i20, Active i20, Verna

Fludic 4S, Neo Elantra, Creta and Santa Fe.

demand, HMIL commissioned its second plant in February 2008, which produces an additional 300,000 units per annum, raising HMIL’s total

production capacity to 600,000 units per annum. Current Production Capacity with these 2 plants in Kancheepuram increased to 670,000 cars per year.

HMC has set up a research and development facility (Hyundai Motor India Engineering - HMIE) in the cyber city of Hyderabad.

As HMC’s global export hub for compact cars, HMIL is the first automotive company in India to achieve the export of 10 lakh cars in just over a decade.

Employee Speaks:

Devdatta Mulchandani

Deputy General Manager

“When I took up my present role at Hyundai Motor India limited, I was a bit apprehensive. Wouldn’t life at a manufacturing company be slow and boring? Would I get hemmed in by dealing with just , well cars and cars and more cars

? But, I found to my pleasant surprise that the maxim “New Thinking New possibilities” is much more than a lip service.

There has been plenty of scope to invent, re- invent and create. Face

challenges head on, a multi- cultural work environment provides a plethora of

opportunities. If one thought, that one had seen it all, time to think again. For at Hyundai there are plenty of opportunities waiting to be grabbed. How you

use them is upto you.”

Puneet Anand

General Manager

“When I look down upon the last 18 years of my life at Hyundai, it seems as if it was yesterday that I joined this organization thanks to the happening, action

packed and aggressive work culture in this organization.

It was here that I got the unique opportunity to improve my management skills through a 1 year Global MBA program at the University of Korea, Seoul fully funded and supported by HMIL. This gave me an international exposure and

ability to work in a different mix of culture and traditions.

Career at Hyundai has been quite eventful given the fact that I had the privilege of working in multifunctional profiles and such versatile experience has made me confident, strong and ready to take on any challenge be it in

professional or personal life.”

Sekar S

Senior Manager

“I Joined Hyundai fresh from college, the first day of my corporate life was a feeling mixed with fear & excitement. But it was one to be cherished and now

my corporate life in Hyundai has entered into the Twelfth Year.

From a Graduate Engineer Trainee to Head of department at a young age, is what Hyundai has offered me. My experience in Hyundai helped me to gain great insight into the hard work going into running a huge organization and

how every individual’s work contributes towards the growth of the organization.”
