Hyundai To Bring Ten Electrified/Eco-Focused Models By 2022

Hyundai has announced its commitment to offer ten electrified, eco-focused vehicles by the end of 2022, including seven SUVs and three car models. This includes eco-solutions for many of Hyundai’s current products as well as all-new models, such as the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6.Hyundai Motor’s commitment to mobility electrification was most recently demonstrated with the launch of its dedicated EV brand IONIQ. Under IONIQ, the company will leverage its industry-leading manufacturing know-how in EVs to introduce three new dedicated models over the next four years with more innovative models to follow. The creation of the IONIQ lineup brand is in response to the fast-growing market demand and accelerates Hyundai’s plan to lead the global EV market.The first model under the IONIQ brand will be the IONIQ 5 midsize CUV that will launch in early 2021. IONIQ 5 is based on the concept EV ‘45’, which Hyundai unveiled at the International Motor Show (IAA) 2019 in Frankfurt as a homage to its very first concept car.  In 2022, Hyundai will introduce IONIQ 6 sedan, which is based on the company’s latest concept EV ‘Prophecy’, unveiled in March; followed by IONIQ 7, a large SUV in early 2024.Similarly, Hyundai Motor’s investment in hydrogen fuel cell technology has also bolstered its position in the rapidly changing transportation sector. The company recently delivered the first seven units of the world’s first mass-produced fuel cell electric heavy-duty truck to customers in Switzerland, with a total of 50 hitting the roads there this year. Production capacity for fuel-cell trucks will reach 2,000 units per year by 2021 to support its expansion into Europe, the U.S., and China as demand for clean mobility grows.
