<div id="readability-page-1"><div><p>With its expanded range of electric powertrains, Hyundai Mobis aims to cover all classes of electric vehicles, from compact models to premium segments. At the same time, the supplier is broadening its electrification portfolio, which currently includes battery systems and powertrain solutions. The company’s customer base is not limited to the Hyundai Group’s in-house brands; it also targets third-party customers. Hyundai Mobis states in a press release that it already ‘secured orders for battery systems from global customers.’</p><p>To achieve this, the South Korean company is adapting its marketing strategy. Previously, Hyundai Mobis primarily manufactured powertrain systems on a customer-specific basis. However, ‘it has now secured the design technology for each auto component of the PE system through in-house R&amp;D and is unveiling its own drive models.’ PE stands for ‘Power Electric,’ referring to electric powertrain systems comprising a motor, inverter, and reduction gearbox.</p><p>In developing its own system model, Hyundai Mobis focused particularly on the standardisation and modularisation of key components. “These include the stator for the drive motor, the inverter, and the power module, which is a bundle of power semiconductors,” the company explains.</p><p>This standardised system model offers high scalability and efficiency. “This system-level standard model offers advantages in terms of scalability, as it can be applied to various vehicle models through a platform-like approach. […] This method differs from the traditional approach used by Global Automakers, where they collaborated with individual automotive suppliers to develop component technologies and assemble the PE system,” the executives emphasise.</p><p>Regarding the new 160 kW powertrain, Hyundai Mobis specifies that it has succeeded in further enhancing performance. “Specific power, measured as power output per unit weight, increased by about 16%, while the system’s overall volume was reduced by nearly 20%. This was achieved through the extensive use of modular design technology and standard auto components,” the company states. However, the supplier does not specify the reference for comparison, leaving it unclear whether these improvements were achieved relative to its own 250 kW powertrain or competitor products.</p><p>Hyundai Mobis brought its 250 kW system to market maturity last year. The PE product line is still relatively new but is expected to grow rapidly. The South Korean company has already announced plans to complete the development of a 120 kW system for compact vehicles in the near future. This model is set to stand out due to its smaller size and lower weight, ‘while also offering price competitiveness tailored to emerging markets.’</p><p>Fundamentally, Hyundai Mobis aims to undergo a large-scale transformation to navigate the industry’s shift as an automotive supplier. During its recent Investor Day in Seoul, the company announced its increased focus on areas such as electrification, electronics, semiconductors, and robotics. Additionally, by 2033, the supplier aims to generate around 40% of its revenue from customers outside the Hyundai Group. Already, automotive manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis are among the company’s clients. Hyundai Mobis is also currently constructing a plant in Spain, where battery systems for the VW Group will be assembled.</p><div><p>Another key focus is software-defined vehicles (SDVs). In this area, Hyundai Mobis is developing a standardised platform based on its E/E architecture, which enables software-based control for various vehicle types and acts as a kind of ‘nervous system’ for modern cars. Full commercialisation is planned after 2028. </p><p>prnewswire.com</p></div></div></div>

<p>Hyundai Mobis, part of the Hyundai Motor Group, has introduced a 160 kW electric powertrain, expanding its electric drive portfolio alongside the existing 250 kW system. The company aims to cover all electric vehicle classes and has secured orders for battery systems from global customers. The new powertrain boasts a 16% increase in specific power and a 20% reduction in volume, achieved through modular design. Hyundai Mobis plans to generate 40% of its revenue from non-Hyundai clients by 2033 and is focusing on software-defined vehicles and electrification.</p>
