Hyundai Construction Equipment and Hyundai-Doosan Infracore will continue to operate under their own management systems, competing as sister companies within the global equipment market. Hyundai Genuine will provide support to both businesses, while maximising the available synergies between the two.
Hyundai Genuine’s intention is to rank among the Global Top 5 construction equipment manufacturers, capturing 5% of global markets by 2025. This will initially be achievedthrough the development of integrated excavator and wheeled loader platforms, by 2025, that will be utilisedby both companies. The two manufacturing businesses will combine their research and development efforts, to increase technological competitiveness, while salesstrengths will be increased through mutually complementary ranges of machinery.
Further ahead, new investment will be increased,to secure next-generation business activities. The plans include the development of hydrogen engines for construction equipment, further mergers and acquisitions, investment in start-up businesses and closer industry-university cooperation, to develop market-leading expertise in automation and electrification.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Group Chairperson KwonOh-gap has vowed to develop the construction equipment business as a core sector of the group, a decision that will be backed by further investment at group level.
