These Class 8 heavy-duty trucks will transport vehicle parts from suppliers to the Megasite, with plans to expand the logistics network in the future. The deployment is part of Hyundai's HTWO initiative, representing the brand's hydrogen value chain business that covers the entire process from production to utilization.
Furthermore, HTWO Logistics, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Company and Glovis America, will set up a mobile hydrogen refueling station at the Megasite to ensure efficient refueling. The development of a hydrogen production and refueling station for the Megasite is also in progress. This innovative approach aligns with Hyundai's vision to establish a closed-loop hydrogen logistics ecosystem, enhancing the environmental sustainability of manufacturing operations at HMGMA. The Bryan County, GA facility is designed to be an intelligent manufacturing plant, optimizing all production processes through AI and data, while creating a human-centered work environment with the integration of robots.
