What happened
Hyundai Motor Company, one of South Korea’s leading automotive manufacturers, started final local assembly of the Ioniq 6 electric sedan at its Jurong plant in Singapore on Friday. The Ioniq 6 is the second electric vehicle to be assembled at the plant, following the successful launch of the Ioniq 5 SUV last year.
The Jurong plant, supported by Hyundai’s $298 million investment, uses advanced robotics and innovative production methods to improve manufacturing efficiency. Designed to produce up to 30,000 vehicles per year, the plant uses components such as the body shell imported from Indonesia and other parts sourced from Korea.
This strategic move will enable Hyundai to better serve the Singapore market by tailoring its products to local needs and potentially reducing costs as Singapore aims to have all vehicles run on clean energy by 2040.
