“This investment is part of an open innovation strategy pursued by Hyundai and Kia.” HyundaiMotorCompany ElectricCar

Consumer acceptance of electric vehicles has so far been slow partly due to their high cost, but Hyundai and Kia plan to soon make more affordable battery-powered cars.

The new partnership will co-develop eco-friendly vans and other products for logistics, on-demand ride-hailing, and shuttle service companies. Cost savings will be achieved by building EVs at small footprint micro-factories, located in areas of demand and profitable at thousands of units, the three companies said in a joint statement.
