Hyundai Motor Appoints President Song Chang-hyun to Vehicle SW Division... Strengthening Software Development Organization

Song Chang-hyun, President and Head of TaaS Division at Hyundai Motor Company

[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Hyundai Motor Group has appointed Song Chang-hyun, head of the TaaS Division (President), to the newly established 'Vehicle Software (SW) Department' under the Research and Development Headquarters. This is a strategy to strengthen the linkage between software development organizations within the group.

According to Hyundai Motor Group on the 24th, President Song, who leads the TaaS Division, a service software development organization, will concurrently serve as the head of the Vehicle SW Department and join the vehicle software development organization.

As the core competitiveness in the automotive industry is shifting from hardware such as vehicle bodies to software, Hyundai Motor Group plans to enhance exchange and synergy between the TaaS Division and the Research and Development Headquarters through this move.

Last year, Hyundai Motor established the TaaS Division, which oversees mobility functions from global mobility service strategy planning to development and operation, and recruited President Song, former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Naver, as the head of the division.
