Hyundai Mobis to Lead 'K-Future Vehicle Alliance'... Accelerating Semiconductor Ecosystem and SDV Transition

Collaboration on Automotive Semiconductor Verification Using Real Vehicles

Hyundai Mobis is actively participating in the government-led initiative to build a next-generation vehicle ecosystem.

On September 30, Hyundai Mobis announced that it had signed a "Cooperation Agreement for Building the Future Vehicle Ecosystem," organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, at its headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The signing ceremony was attended by representatives from 18 companies and institutions, including automotive parts manufacturers, semiconductor companies, and research institutes, who are part of the "M.AX Alliance AI Future Vehicle Division."

This division is comprised of automakers, parts suppliers, fabless companies, and public research institutions, with the goal of creating successful AI-based future mobility models.

As the anchor company of the Alliance, Hyundai Mobis will play a key role in developing the domestic automotive semiconductor ecosystem, both as a semiconductor demand client and a core parts supplier, and will support the transition of mid-sized car manufacturers to software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

In the automotive semiconductor sector, Hyundai Mobis will identify semiconductor components that require domestic production and specify development requirements to fabless companies and research institutes, collaborating on product validation and commercialization. Research institutes will build testbed infrastructure using actual vehicles and provide a range of evaluation programs.

By establishing a demand-linked collaboration system that integrates development, validation, and full-vehicle evaluation, Hyundai Mobis aims to identify domestic products early and raise the current localization rate of automotive semiconductors, which stands at 5%.

Additionally, Hyundai Mobis plans to develop standardized platforms applicable to various vehicle models and provide them to relevant companies, further strengthening the SDV competitiveness of Korea's mobility industry as a whole.

A Hyundai Mobis official stated, "We plan to enhance cooperation between the government and the industry in core technology areas such as automotive semiconductors and SDVs, and to actively strengthen supply chain competitiveness," adding, "We will continue our efforts to foster the domestic next-generation vehicle industry ecosystem and strengthen technological competitiveness, including by holding the second Automotive Semiconductor Forum (ASK) in the second half of this year."
