In an industry milestone, Hyundai Motor Group recently celebrated the production of its 100 millionth vehicle. This achievement underscores Hyundai’s rapid rise in the global automotive sector.
In just 57 years, Hyundai has gone from a newcomer to one of the world’s leading car manufacturers, making it one of the fastest carmakers to reach such a landmark.
At Brindley Group, we’re thrilled to have played our part in connecting amazing Hyundai cars with our customers, something that is bound to continue well into the future with Hyundai’s commitment to electrifying their range of cars.
Hyundai’s journey from its beginnings to this 100-million milestone has been one of great ambition and innovation. The key to this growth story is the Ulsan Plant, often called the birthplace of South Korea’s automotive industry, and now stands proudly as the world’s single largest automobile plant.
The plant was established as a key hub for Hyundai’s expansion, the Ulsan Plant marked its significance early on by producing Korea’s first mass-produced car, the ‘Pony,’ in 1975.
Since the Pony, the world has changed a lot, with a better understanding of how internal combustion engines can negatively affect the environment, which is why Hyundai was an early adopter of electric power trains.
Hyundai’s E-GMP platform allows for high performance and efficiency for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis models. This is a testament to the quality of the electric drivetrain, which has been in production since 2021.
E-GMP incorporates features like longer driving ranges, faster charging, and enhanced safety. By integrating this platform into long-term plans, Hyundai is preparing for a future where EVs are a mainstream choice for drivers across the globe, and the E-GMP has positioned Hyundai as a major contender in the EV market.
The Brindley Group is incredibly proud to continue this electric journey with Hyundai
as our Cannock branch recently transitioned to Hyundai, demonstrating our confidence in Hyundai’s ability to deliver excellent electric cars to the West Midlands and beyond.
As the world moves further towards all-electric travel, the lineup of electric vehicles available at Brindley Group showcases Hyundai’s dedication to innovative, sustainable cars.
Among these models, the IONIQ 5 is a particularly standout addition as it was the 100 millionth vehicle that rolled off the production line. The IONIQ 5 utilises the E-GMP, offering an impressive range, ultra-fast charging capabilities, and a spacious, modern interior, making it a popular choice for eco-conscious drivers who want a practical but forward-thinking car.
The Hyundai KONA Electric is an all-new design that pairs Hyundai’s iconic compact SUV styling with a fully electric powertrain. The KONA Electric combines performance and practicality, offering drivers substantial range, smart technology, and a low-emission alternative without sacrificing the versatility of an SUV.
For those seeking a plug-in hybrid option, the Hyundai SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid offers an ideal combination of fuel efficiency and electric driving capability. As an SUV with Hyundai’s trusted performance and comfort, the SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid is designed to suit families or those in need of a larger vehicle while minimising the carbon footprint you might expect from a large vehicle.
Hyundai’s achievement of producing 100 million vehicles in such a short time underscores the brand’s rapid progress, its dedication to quality, and its innovative spirit. At Brindley Group, we’re excited to be part of this journey, offering our customers access to Hyundai’s leading-edge EVs and sharing in Hyundai’s goal of a greener, more sustainable automotive future.
