The rumors are true, we are bringing Hyundai electric vehicles (EV) to the Peach State! Starting next year we will be breaking ground for the first Hyundai EV & battery plant in the U.S. Currently our manufacturing plant is operating in Ulsan, South Korea. However, we believe that expanding manufacturing to Savannah, Georgia will allow us to become one of the leading electric automobile companies in the U.S. market. We plan to have this 5.5 billion dollar investment up and running by 2025. It will have a capacity for 300,000 EVs a year. This high-tech EV plant represents the future of Hyundai and Georgia. Here at Tulsa Hyundai, we have all the details for you so keep reading!
Georgia and South Korea Hyundai
Like we mentioned earlier, our current manufacturing plant is in South Korea. There are deep ties between Georgia and South Korea and this plant will only make them stronger. Georgia has operated a trade office in South Korea since 1985 and South Korea has a consulate in Atlanta serving the Southeast. South Korea is ranked as Georgia’s fourth largest exporter of goods, so it is only right that we would want to establish a manufacturing plant in a state that works well with our main manufacturing country.
Hyundai EV & Battery Plant Technology
Hyundai is proud to embrace change and drive innovation and we will be able to create the technology to do so. This EV plant will help us meet the expanding demands of our U.S. customers who want leading edge design, safety, and the ability to be eco-friendly. We will manufacture multiple brands and models in our new warehouse also creating a number of EV models under our electric series. We plan to utilize many of our advanced intelligent manufacturing technologies that are currently under test at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center in Singapore. The facility will become an intelligent manufacturing plant by using AI and data for all production operations. Guaranteeing sustainability, the plant will mainly rely on renewable energy sources to power the facility and use emission-reduction technologies to meet the RE100 requirements.
Future of Hyundai
Electric vehicles are the future of the automobile industry. This being said, by 2030 we plan EV manufacturing to grow tremendously to 3.2 million EVs a year globally. To achieve this goal we are building and sustaining a network that will ensure EV supply around the globe. This supplier network could further boost the Georgia economy by providing thousands of additional jobs. The pandemic has significantly impacted the supply chain for cars, computer chips, and other vital parts. This has shown us that we must have a strong and sturdy operations system, which having a plant in the U.S. will help secure.
This project will be the largest the state of Georgia has ever seen. The plant will operate on a 3,000 acre site in Bryan County with easy access to 250 major metro areas. It is right outside of Savannah, which is the largest container terminal in the U.S. with the Georgia Central Railway that holds two Class I rail facilities. With the pressure for our country to become more eco-friendly, this project will create 8,000 new jobs for Georgia’s talented workforce and will help further the state’s shift to an eco-friendly economy.
