Hyundai Mobis to Hold '2026 R&D Tech Day'... Unveils Over 60 Next-Generation Technologies

'Expanding from Mobility Components to Robotics' as the Main Theme

10 'Hero' Products with Technological Competitiveness Selected

Fostering Them as Major Global Order Items

Hyundai Mobis announced on September 10 that it will hold the '2026 R&D Tech Day,' which unveils over 60 next-generation technologies, including electrification and software-defined vehicles (SDVs), at its Technology Research Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, until September 18.

R&D Tech Day is an event in which Hyundai Mobis shares its research and development achievements with major domestic partners and industry insiders, separate from its participation in global exhibitions such as CES. The event is held biennially and this is its third edition.

This time, Hyundai Mobis has set 'Expanding from Mobility Components to Future Robotics' as the theme for Tech Day. The exhibition flow emphasizes the interconnection of the technologies, enabling visitors to explore six core mobility component zones before moving to view robotics components. Hyundai Mobis will unveil two types of actuators currently under development for the first time at the event.

Among the core components, the User Experience (UX) Zone, which focuses on user experience, will be operated mainly as an interactive zone where visitors can try the exhibited products. The offerings include cutting-edge infotainment products such as the holographic windshield display and the virtual reality head-up display, both of which won Innovation Awards at CES earlier this year, as well as a premium audio system.

Global client representatives are also scheduled to visit Tech Day. Despite being held in Korea, many client companies from North America and Asia are expected to attend. They are expected to tour the exhibition and research center and discuss technological cooperation, including potential orders.

'Hero' Products with Technological Competitiveness... Cultivating Major Global Order Items

Hyundai Mobis selects 'hero' products with research and development competitiveness and fosters them as major order items. This Tech Day will feature a total of 10 hero products.

The next-generation hybrid battery system is one of the representative technologies. It is designed to accommodate pouch, prismatic, and cylindrical battery cells, greatly enhancing cell selection flexibility for customers. The cooling system supports both liquid and air cooling, with optimized development for each. The application of a venting valve increases safety by discharging gas externally in the event of abnormal high temperatures.

In the electronics field, an integrated controller that combines autonomous driving and parking functions stands out. Currently, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) use a driving controller for long-range detection and a parking controller for short-range detection. Hyundai Mobis has integrated these functions to enhance both convenience and safety. This is reported to provide superior pedestrian protection during low-speed driving or parking modes.

Among chassis and safety components, a next-generation airbag designed to protect rear-facing passengers is drawing attention. In fully autonomous mobility vehicles, the front and rear seats can face each other; this airbag is a safety device intended to protect front-row passengers from rear impacts in such layouts. As demand for purpose-built vehicles (PBVs) grows, the airbag is being recognized as a creative solution for passenger safety.

Other hero products include: a suspension system that reduces the turning radius and enables U-turns within just two lanes, a four-wheel independent steering system capable of high-speed maneuvers, fire-resistant materials that block heat transfer and withstand high temperatures, and a new process that improves electric vehicle motor output.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Mobis will host a 'Family Day' event by inviting employees' families over the weekend. Activities will include making a 'Mobis Tech Dictionary,' where children collect technology info cards placed throughout the event to create a booklet, and the 'Junior Engineering Class,' which provides opportunities to learn and experience scientific principles.
