The 21st Century and the Environment


At a time when awareness of the state of the global environment is heightened and efforts to preserve it are intensifying, the focus of today's automobile industry is on developing environment-friendly vehicles that combine advanced automobile technologies and the needs of the environment.


Hyundai Motor Company's rise to the challenge of developing environment-friendly technologies started with the development of SONATA electric vehicles in 1991. The survival of the human race, the development of pollution-free vehicles that can resolve the problem of our dwindling natural resources, and the dream of recovering a cleaner planet - All of these require the development of cutting-edge technologies! Hyundai Motor Company's environment-friendly vehicles proudly lead this challenge.
