Hyundai Motor Group Sets 2026 Agenda, Puts AI at the Core

The plan ties Hyundai’s data-rich manufacturing footprint to AI-driven products to weather expected global headwinds.

Overview

  • Executive Chair Euisun Chung outlined five priorities for 2026: customer-focused evolution, agile decision-making, ecosystem competitiveness, bold collaboration, and leading new industry standards.
  • Chung said core product competitiveness in autos now hinges on AI capabilities and highlighted a push to build strength in physical AI.
  • He argued the group’s data from vehicles, robots and manufacturing processes gives it an edge that big tech firms cannot easily replicate.
  • He urged faster, field-focused decisions supported by clear, timely communication, with reports reflecting employees’ own analysis and conclusions.
  • He reaffirmed a previously announced 125.2 trillion won investment through 2030 and forecast a tougher environment with supply-chain restructuring, slower growth and geopolitical fragmentation.
