The South Korean automotive giant plans to stop offering ICE cars in the Old World countries first, but you will still have to wait until 2035.
By 2040, the company expects to have electrified 80 percent of its global model range. It also plans to go all-electric on most of its primary markets. Five years later, it will switch to using renewable energy sources exclusively.
Every third new Hyundai car produced by 2030 will be environmentally clean, which implies either all-electric or fuel-cell-based powertrain. The Nexo minivan set to debut in a couple of years and a large SUV due out in 2025 or later will be the first mass-produced hydrogen models.
Hyundai’s next EV will be the Ioniq 6 sedan in 2022. The model comes based on the Prophecy Concept (see video) and has already been spotted testing on the streets (refer to the gallery included here for some spy photos). It will hit the market with a dual-motor powertrain rated above 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW).
Hyundai first announced a shift of paradigm in the spring this year, promising to discontinue the development of new internal combustion engines to free up resources for EV research and development.
