[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hyundai Construction Equipment, an affiliate of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, has opened a Technology Innovation Center to conduct quality research and verification of parts and finished equipment.


On the 26th, Hyundai Construction Equipment held a completion ceremony for the Technology Innovation Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, attended by President Gong Gi-yeong and other executives and employees.


The Hyundai Construction Equipment Technology Innovation Center was constructed with a total investment of 77 billion KRW, and since September last year, a reliability evaluation building and a finished equipment performance testing building have been established on a 40,000㎡ (12,200 pyeong) site.


At this facility, 100 research personnel will be stationed across 16 testing rooms to comprehensively conduct quality research and verification of parts and finished equipment. In particular, Hyundai Construction Equipment has set up an integrated control system room within the center to monitor in real-time the testing rooms and test fields of both the existing Gunsan Durability Center and the Technology Innovation Center, enabling integrated data management.


Additionally, the reliability evaluation building is equipped with a large environmental chamber and simulators capable of testing equipment performance in extreme conditions ranging from -40℃ to 80℃, as well as testing and measurement equipment, allowing for pre-verification from the development stage.


The Technology Innovation Center will also conduct research on eco-friendly technologies to respond to strengthened exhaust gas regulations, high-efficiency and noise reduction technologies, and the advancement of virtual verification systems.



President Gong Gi-yeong stated, "Even in an economic downturn, there must be no compromise in investment for quality innovation," adding, "We will drastically improve quality from the development stage to repay the trust of our customers."
