Hyundai is a globally recognized automotive brand with its primary manufacturing and corporate roots in South Korea. The company operates the Ulsan assembly plant, which is the world's largest integrated automobile manufacturing facility. However, to meet global demand, Hyundai has established a vast production network with plants in several other countries including the United States, India, China, Turkey, Czech Republic, Russia, and Brazil.
Originally founded in 1967 as the Hyundai Motor Company, the brand has evolved from a construction-focused conglomerate into one of the world's largest automotive groups. The logo, a stylized 'H' inside an oval, represents the company's desire to expand globally and also symbolizes two people—the company and the customer—shaking hands. Today, Hyundai is a leader in technological innovation, particularly in electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen fuel cell technology.
The brand is the flagship of the Hyundai Motor Group, a South Korean chaebol that also includes Kia and the luxury brand Genesis. As of 2026, the group continues to be led by the Chung family, maintaining its headquarters in Seoul and focusing on a strategic vision of software-driven mobility and AI-driven innovation.
