SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) has announced the establishment of the Hyundai Motor Group Global Design Division, further strengthening its design capabilities. The new division will spearhead the Group's efforts to design all-electric vehicles and future mobility solutions, including purpose-built vehicles (PBVs), robotics, and advanced air mobility (AAM).
Luc Donckerwolke, Hyundai Motor Group's President, will be appointed Chief Design Officer (CDO), heading the Global Design Division.
