Hyundai Motor Group's Executive Chair Chung Euisun engaged in strategic discussions with Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, in Seoul to explore collaborations in hydrogen energy and electric vehicle (EV) production. The meeting highlighted the potential of hydrogen in supporting Indonesia's energy independence and contributing to the ASEAN hydrogen market, ultimately promoting economic growth and reducing carbon emissions. Minister Hartarto praised Hyundai's efforts and emphasized the Indonesian government's commitment to developing EVs through comprehensive roadmaps and incentives. Hyundai's investment in Indonesia includes initiatives like converting organic waste into hydrogen in West Java, establishing EV manufacturing plants, and setting up battery production facilities. The company's partnership with state-owned oil company Pertamina aims to advance hydrogen projects and achieve a climate-neutral economy. Hyundai's expansion strategy in Indonesia, a critical location in the Southeast Asian market due to its population and nickel reserves, involves significant investments in EV infrastructure and battery production. Furthermore, Hyundai's involvement in Indonesia's national project of relocating the capital to East Kalimantan demonstrates a long-term commitment to the country's development. Collaborations with the Nusantara Authority for air mobility solutions in the new capital showcase Hyundai's dedication to innovative future projects. Chairman Chung's frequent visits to Indonesia underscore Hyundai's strong interest in the Indonesian market and its vision for sustainable growth through hydrogen and EV technologies.
