Hyundai Motor Group has revealed plans to boost its investment in the United States to USD 26 billion, underscoring its dedication to long-term innovation, job creation, and sustainable development in critical sectors.
The investment, set to take place from 2025 to 2028, will notably increase the Group’s presence in the U.S. market.
This latest pledge adds USD 5 billion to the USD 21 billion investment previously announced in March 2025, aimed at advancing Hyundai Motor Group’s strategic goals in the automotive, steel, and robotics sectors.
Key investment highlights include:
Strategic Steel Production: A new steel plant in Louisiana will bolster key U.S. industries like automotive manufacturing, enhancing domestic supply chains and increasing industrial resilience.
Expansion of U.S. Vehicle Manufacturing: Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation will significantly boost their U.S. production capacity, enabling faster and more efficient responses to the changing demands of American consumers.
Robotics Innovation Center: The Group plans to build a cutting-edge robotics facility with a production capacity of 30,000 units annually, serving as the U.S. base for design, production, testing, and deployment. This move positions Hyundai as a global leader in robotics.
These efforts are expected to generate approximately 25,000 direct jobs in the U.S. over the next four years, providing a strong boost to the local economy
The Group is also fast-tracking the commercialization of advanced technologies through its U.S. affiliates — Boston Dynamics in robotics and Motional in autonomous driving — while strengthening partnerships with top American firms in emerging fields such as AI, robotics, and self-driving technologies.
“Having invested over USD 20.5 billion in the U.S. since 1986, Hyundai Motor Group continues to align its growth with that of the U.S. economy. This new investment highlights its firm commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long-term economic collaboration”.
