Hyundai 100 million production milestone

Hyundai’s very first plant in Ulsan started production in 1968, where seven years later, in 1975, the very first Korean-developed passenger car, the Hyundai Pony, was born. The company timed the production in such a way that the first car following the hundred million milestone would also be made here.

Hyundai reached the first 50 million in 2013, i.e. in the last ten years as many cars were produced as in the previous four decades. The fact that Hyundai began a serious international expansion in the last thirty years also contributed to this.

To name just a few: in 2005 they opened a plant in the USA and in 2012 in Brazil. In Europe, the company established production bases in Turkey (1997) and the Czech Republic (2008), and production took place in Russia between 2010 and 2023. By the way, foreign market production was first started in India (1996), and Hyundai recently opened a factory in Indonesia (2019) and in Singapore.

A Wikipedia according to his information, in 2023, this is how the factory was developed in the company’s foreign markets. The data also includes the unit numbers of the Genesis, but they are suitable for showing the proportions.
