Hyundai Motor to build integrated production system from batteries to finished vehicles in Indonesia (Korea)

Hyundai Motor Group has completed construction of HLI Green Power, a joint venture factory built by battery giant LG Energy Solution in Indonesia's Karawang Industrial City (KNIC).
The NCMA (nickel, cobalt, manganese, aluminum) lithium Eon batteries produced here will be supplied to Hyundai Motor's Indonesian factory.
The company has begun mass production of the All-New Kona Electric, an electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) equipped with the latest technology, and will begin selling it locally from July 17th.
For Hyundai Motor Group, this establishment of a battery cell to EV production system will lay the foundation for building an EV market in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) beyond Indonesia.
Indonesia has the fourth-largest population in the world and the world's largest reserves and mining of nickel, a core material in batteries.
The group plans to develop the Kona Electric into Indonesia's leading EV and promote it in various areas.
The company will work with other companies to build charging infrastructure in public places. It will be the first brand in Indonesia to have an integrated production system from batteries to finished vehicles and expand its EV lineup.
In the future, the company will introduce EVs to suit this market.
