[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hyundai Mobis announced on the 6th that it held the ‘M-Fields Festa 2022’ at its technology research center in Yongin. This event summarizes the future car-related ideas proposed by the company's employees over the year and is the third edition since 2020.

This year, a total of about 700 technology development and business ideas were gathered. The cumulative total over three years has exceeded 2,700. While the event had previously focused mainly on the proposers of ideas, this year it was conducted on a company-wide level. Domestic and international employees participated in an audition-style program both online and offline, and the best ideas were selected through on-site voting.

The top ideas selected were the ‘Cooling Water Utilization Electric Vehicle Battery System (BSA) Emergency Flooding System’ and the ‘Cost-Reduction Type Mobis Electric Motor Brake (EMB)’. The cooling water utilization flooding system is designed to spray cooling water inside the vehicle to suppress electric vehicle battery fires at an early stage. The electric motor brake is a brake system that improves performance compared to existing models, enhancing competitiveness in order acquisition.

The company plans to support the commercialization of the selected ideas going forward. Previously, a lighting system that reduces power consumption and a glove box with increased storage capacity are currently undergoing mass production procedures.
