and eS. HMG will use the former for passenger cars, and the latter for purpose-built vehicles in applications like delivery, logistics, and car-hailing.
The IMA will standardize and modularize key EV components like batteries and electric motors, which currently vary across models and segments. Moreover, component sharing will enable cost reductions, shorter development time, and simplified mass production, according to Hyundai. The eM platform will also allow a 50 percent improvement in range compared to current HMG EVs and will be developed to integrate level three or higher autonomous driving capability, with support for over-the-air updates.
The report also speculates that the Genesis GV90 would use semiconductors from Samsung Electronics. It could get the hottest tech from Samsung in the form of the Exynos Auto V920 processor for its infotainment systems to enable streaming services and games.
