- Hyundai Motor Group and Singapore’s HTX (Dwelling Workforce Science and Know-how Company) associate to rework how HTX develops and customizes Singapore’s public security fleet to boost agility and operational readiness
- First public security expertise demonstration is ready to launch by 2028, that includes multi-purpose complete mobility options primarily based on modular frameworks such because the PBV platform
- Partnership additionally consists of joint analysis and growth in robotics, hydrogen and different future mobility applied sciences to strengthen public security in Singapore
Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) and Singapore’s HTX (Dwelling Workforce Science and Know-how Company)[1] have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on future mobility and superior applied sciences. The MoU was signed through the 2025 Asia-Pacific Financial Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit Korea in Gyeongju.
The tripartite MoU was signed by Chan Tsan, Chief Government of HTX, and representing Group stakeholders, Hyundai Motor Firm and Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Middle Singapore (HMGICS), Ilbum Kim, Government Vice President and Head of International Coverage Workplace at Hyundai Motor Group and Hyun Sung Park, CEO of HMGICS. It was witnessed by Sim Ann, Singapore’s Senior Minister of State for Dwelling Affairs and International Affairs and Sung Kim, President for Strategic Planning at Hyundai Motor Group.
By this partnership, Hyundai Motor Group and HTX will debut the Kia[2] PBV (Platform Past Car) modular electrical car (EV) platform of their first expertise demonstration venture in Singapore, to spice up the agility and operational readiness of Singapore’s fleet of public security autos. This collaboration may even discover joint analysis and utility of future applied sciences, together with robotics and hydrogen power.
Excellent Atmosphere for Take a look at-Bedding New Transformative Applied sciences
Recognizing Singapore’s open insurance policies, robust financial system, and talent-rich setting, Hyundai Motor Group views the nation as a super location for a human-centered “good city mobility hub.” Since establishing HMGICS in 2023, the Group has constructed shut partnerships with native universities, authorities analysis institutes and world corporations.
“Hyundai Motor Group has established a strong basis for driving public mobility innovation in partnership with the Singaporean authorities, leveraging our proprietary applied sciences,” stated Ilbum Kim, Government Vice President and Head of International Coverage Workplace at Hyundai Motor Group. “By real-world demonstrations of mobility options, we’ll proceed to steer world innovation in future applied sciences comparable to robotics and hydrogen.”
“Each partnership we forge is about advancing science and expertise to empower the Dwelling Workforce with higher instruments and smarter methods. This collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group permits us to push the boundaries of future mobility applied sciences and produce cutting-edge improvements into real-world Dwelling Workforce operations, and past,” stated HTX Chief Government Chan Tsan.
Demonstrating a Multi-Objective Modular EV Platform for Public Security
Hyundai Motor Group and HTX plan to conduct an indication venture for a multi-purpose modular EV platform by the top of 2028, aimed toward enhancing the operational effectivity of Singapore’s public security fleet, which incorporates autos comparable to police automobiles and speedy response autos.
At present, HTX customizes all kinds of autos to deal with operational use circumstances for presidency companies below Singapore’s Ministry of Dwelling Affairs (MHA), which incorporates the Singapore Police Pressure and Singapore Civil Defence Pressure. To take its fleet administration capabilities to the following stage, Hyundai Motor Group and HTX will associate on the Kia PBV platform, making a unified operational platform constructed on modular car structure.
This flexibility and scalable design would permit HTX to rework fleet operations throughout the Dwelling Workforce Departments, considerably enhancing operational readiness, effectivity and flexibility, whereas lowering the necessity for a number of specialised autos. The venture is anticipated to align with Singapore’s broader electrification technique in keeping with the Singapore Inexperienced Plan 2030, which incorporates Singapore’s imaginative and prescient for all autos to run on cleaner power by 2040.
Increasing Collaboration into Core Future Applied sciences
Past mobility, Hyundai Motor Group and HTX plan to collaborate on key future applied sciences comparable to robotics and hydrogen power, with the objective of reworking Singapore’s public security methods.
As a worldwide mobility chief, Hyundai Motor Group continues to innovate in robotics and hydrogen power. Following its acquisition of Boston Dynamics in 2021, the Group introduced further investments in April to combine robotics into its manufacturing processes. In 2020, it additionally launched the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen-powered heavy-duty truck, the XCIENT Gasoline Cell, reinforcing its management in sustainable mobility.
