When the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore started operations here, it marked the return of car manufacturing in this land-scarce location after six decades. Relative to the Ford vehicles made here in the past, the leading Korean car maker is focused on assembling electric vehicles (EVs) using this facility. 

Situated within Singapore’s Jurong Innovation District, the seven-storey $400 million facility covers 86,900 sq m and can produce up to 30,000 vehicles a year.

It is now used to produce EV models such as the IONIQ 5 and the fully autonomous IONIQ 5 robotaxi, with plans to introduce the IONIQ 6 and other models as well.
