Hyundai WIA Participates in Germany's 'IZB 2026'... "Expand European Orders"

Exhibits Slim HVAC and Integrated Cooling Module
Showcases Drive Shaft Disconnect System and Dual Joint
Designed to Maximize Energy Efficiency and Space Utilization

Hyundai WIA is accelerating its push into the European market, showcasing electrified thermal management systems and next-generation drive components designed to improve energy efficiency and space utilization.

Visitors look at Hyundai Wia auto parts at IZB 2026, the International Automotive Suppliers Fair, which opened on the 27th (local time) at Allerpark in Wolfsburg, Germany. Hyundai Wia.

Hyundai WIA said on October 28 that it had unveiled a range of key electrification components at the International Suppliers Fair, "IZB 2026," which opened on October 27 (local time) at Allerpark in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Running through October 29, IZB is a major automotive parts trade fair hosted by Volkswagen. This year, 858 companies from 36 countries are participating. At the exhibition, Hyundai WIA is focusing on advanced technologies in future mobility drive systems and thermal management. The company is highlighting components that improve energy efficiency and space utilization, targeting the continued shift toward electrification, as the European Union (EU) pursues a revised proposal to cut automotive carbon dioxide emissions by 90% by 2035, compared with 2021 levels.

First, the company presented an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) unit, a key component of an air-conditioning system. The device adjusts air drawn in from outside to an optimal temperature for the conditions inside the vehicle and supplies it to the cabin. Hyundai WIA also displayed a "Slim HVAC," which is shorter than existing products, improving space utilization and energy efficiency.

The company also exhibited a cooling module, a key thermal management component. Comprising a condenser, radiator, and cooling fan, the unit cools air and coolant at the front of the vehicle. It combines two radiators, which were previously installed separately, into one to reduce thickness and weight, and is designed to cool the battery and power electronics (PE) system simultaneously.

Hyundai WIA also unveiled the Wheel Disconnect System (WDS), a next-generation drive component for electrified vehicles. It disconnects the drive shaft from the wheels depending on driving conditions, reducing unnecessary power loss. The company also presented an Active Roll Stabilizer (ARS), which suppresses body roll caused by road impacts and cornering, and a Dual Constant Velocity Joint (Dual C.V. Joint), which connects two constant velocity joints in series to achieve a maximum articulation angle of 60 degrees. The Dual Constant Velocity Joint reduces the vehicle's turning radius, improving maneuverability on narrow streets and during U-turns.

Through the exhibition, Hyundai WIA plans to expand its engagement with European automakers, including Volkswagen, and increase opportunities to secure local orders.

A Hyundai WIA official said, "This exhibition has given us the opportunity to showcase Hyundai WIA's future drive and thermal management technologies to the European market. We will continue to expand orders in Europe through ongoing research and development and proactive sales efforts."
