Hyundai Mobis 'M Vision S' Featuring the Dream Mobility Vision

Positive Reviews Following the Unveiling of Urban Shared Fully Autonomous Vehicles at CES

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Mobis is presenting a new model with future mobility technology that integrates core technologies such as autonomous driving, connectivity, and electrification. In particular, at CES 2020, the world's largest electronics show held this year in Las Vegas, USA, it showcased the electric vehicle sharing concept 'M.Vision S' and received high praise for its various technologies. The future vision Hyundai Mobis demonstrated at CES can be summarized as 'shared, personalized, clean' mobility. Especially, M.Vision S is evaluated as concretely showing Hyundai Mobis's future mobility vision.

M.Vision S is an urban shared fully autonomous driving concept vehicle. The exterior of this vehicle is equipped with 360-degree sensing combining cameras, radar, and lidar, as well as communication lighting technology that actively interacts with the external environment of the vehicle. Along with this, M.Vision S exchanges numerous data with surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic lights to safely transport passengers to their destinations.

Since M.Vision S is a shared vehicle, it can be used for various purposes including by the general public, vulnerable road users, and public shuttles. In other words, it can be selectively utilized according to the purpose of use, such as a 2-seater compact vehicle, a 5-seater mid-sized vehicle, or a mid-sized bus.

Hyundai Mobis is continuously strengthening its hydrogen-related technologies. Although M.Vision S was basically introduced as an electric vehicle concept, it can be converted into a clean mobility vehicle equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell system. Hyundai Mobis has been operating the world's largest dedicated hydrogen fuel cell system production line in Chungju, Chungbuk since 2017, and began constructing a second hydrogen fuel cell plant at the end of 2018. Once the new plant is completed, Hyundai Mobis will have the capacity to produce 40,000 hydrogen fuel cells annually by 2022.

Based on this hydrogen fuel cell competitiveness, Hyundai Mobis plans to open a world of clean mobility that integrates autonomous driving and connectivity. It has already secured core camera and radar technologies essential for autonomous driving systems, and aims to commercialize lidar systems for Level 3 autonomous driving by next year. To secure lidar technology early, Hyundai Mobis made a 60 billion KRW equity investment last year in Velodyne, the world's leading lidar company.
