Hyundai Motor Company and Singtel have signed agreement to collaborate on a range of ventures to support smart manufacturing and connectivity for electric vehicle battery subscription service.
The agreement follows Hyundai Motor Group's announcement in October 2020 that it is setting up a new state-of-the-art Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore (HMGICS) to conduct studies on future mobility and explore innovative solutions, services and disruptive technologies to revolutionise commuters' transport experience.
Hyundai Motor will combine its expertise in developing innovative automotive and manufacturing solutions with Singtel's capabilities in 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and next generation info-communications technologies and solutions to develop Industry 4.0 advanced digital solutions to transform the way vehicles are currently manufactured. The parties will develop and pilot a 5G-enabled smart factory use case for HMGICS' intelligent manufacturing platform, and potentially scaling it up for deployment across Hyundai's manufacturing plants globally.
