Efforts to Alleviate Climate Change
As a global automaker, Hyundai Motor is aware of the importance of responding to
climate change, and is doing its utmost to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The
best way to reduce greenhouse gas emitted by automobiles is to reduce the use
of fossil fuels and replace them with low-carbon and alternative energies. Hyundai
Motor is leading the way in developing hybrid cars that will reduce fuel consumption
by over 50% as well as hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles that will usher in the non-
gasoline era.
Hybrid Vehicles
In 2004, Hyundai Motor delivered 50 Getz hybrid vehicles to Korean government
agencies as part of a fleet demonstration project, followed by 200 units of the Verna
hybrid vehicle in 2005 which were delivered to government agencies in the Seoul
metropolitan area. Hyundai extended its project to the five major metropolitan
areas with 220 units in 2006, and public centers such as kindergartens, schools,
and welfare centers in 2007. By 2008, the total tally reached approximately 1,010
hybrid cars. In 2009, Hyundai Motor will extend its efforts to actual customers by
commercializing the Avante LPI (LPG injection) hybrid car.
In 2010, a mid-size hybrid vehicle featuring Hyundai Motor’s independently developed
hybrid architecture will be launched in the North American market. Hyundai will also
increase its R&D resources to commercialize a Plug-in hybrid vehicle that can have
its battery recharged at home and be driven in an all-electric mode for short distances
by 2012.
