Hyundai Mobis EV Innovations Boost Range and Design

Hyundai Mobis has introduced new electric vehicle (EV) solutions, promising to significantly enhance electric consumption efficiency, aesthetics, and user convenience. These innovations focus on maintaining the classic frontal grille design while drastically reducing air resistance, potentially extending the vehicle’s range by about 20 km. This development not only addresses the challenge of uniform EV designs, thereby increasing their market appeal, but also integrates features that cater to the specific needs of SUVs and CUVs.

Key Highlights:

  • Advanced Aerodynamics: Incorporation of an “Integrated Front Face Module” to minimize air resistance while preserving design diversity.
  • Range Improvement: An innovative system that opens and closes parts like the grille and hood automatically, improving battery cooling efficiency and extending the EV’s range by roughly 20 km.
  • Design Marketability: Maintenance of traditional grille designs coupled with aerodynamic enhancements and LED lighting integration.
  • Charging Convenience: Introduction of a semi-automatic charging system, which automates the retrieval of the charger and the closing of caps/covers post-charging.

Hyundai Mobis’s foray into next-generation EV technology underscores its commitment to enhancing performance, design, and convenience in electric mobility. By ingeniously blending aerodynamics with traditional aesthetic elements, Hyundai Mobis not only overcomes the monotony of EV designs but also improves the vehicles’ marketability, especially among SUVs and CUVs.

One of the pivotal features of these solutions is the automatic opening and closing mechanism for vehicle parts, which significantly reduces air resistance during high-speed drives, thereby improving electric consumption efficiency (ECE). This mechanism, crucial for battery cooling efficiency, underscores Hyundai Mobis’s holistic approach to vehicle design—melding aesthetics with functionality.

The semi-automatic charging system introduces a novel convenience by automating post-charging processes, marking a significant step forward in user-friendly EV design. This system, emphasizing ease of use and efficiency, highlights Hyundai Mobis’s strategic pivot towards becoming a ‘Mobility Solution Provider,’ with a keen focus on the core technologies of future mobility: electrification, autonomous driving, and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI).

Hyundai Mobis’s efforts to expand its global footprint and enhance its product portfolio have been fruitful, as evidenced by securing USD 9.22 billion in orders from global automakers last year. This achievement not only accelerates the company’s growth strategy but also cements its position as a leading automotive supplier on the global stage.

About Hyundai Mobis: A leader in automotive supply, Hyundai Mobis ranks as the 6th global automotive supplier, boasting expertise in sensors, ECUs, and safety control software. With a strong R&D foundation spread across Korea, the United States, Germany, China, and India, Hyundai Mobis continues to pioneer innovations in electrification, chassis systems, and automotive electronics.
