Hyundai Motors recently held its "2008 New Truck and Bus Launch Conference" in Seoul, South Korea. The event marked a major milestone as the company introduced 10 new truck and bus models equipped with large and medium-sized diesel engines developed entirely in-house by Hyundai Motor. This launch signifies the official start of commercial production for these advanced diesel engines, which are set to enhance the performance and efficiency of modern commercial vehicles.
Approximately 400 attendees, including Hyundai Motors Vice President Jin Dongjin, were present at the event. Among the new models unveiled were the Mighty, Megatruck, Trago, e-county, Aerotown, Global900, Superaerocity, and the highly anticipated "UNIVERSE." These vehicles are powered by Hyundai's independently developed F, G, H, and Powertech engines, along with other large and medium-sized power units. To ensure reliability and performance, Hyundai invested heavily in development, testing over 150 prototype vehicles and more than 600 engine units. The company conducted over 8 million miles of real-world driving tests and more than 100,000 hours of durability trials.
The new diesel engines significantly improved the durability, power output, and fuel efficiency of the commercial vehicles. In addition to engine upgrades, Hyundai also enhanced the interior design and user-friendliness of the ten new models, making them more competitive in the global market. The "UNIVERSE," a large bus that previously made an appearance at the Tokyo Motor Show, is now being positioned as a strong contender in the Japanese market. Hyundai aims to capture 10% of Japan’s commercial vehicle market with this model, which has already generated significant interest from Japanese media.
According to data released in November 2007, Hyundai’s commercial vehicle sales were performing well. In South Korea, 32,190 units were sold, while 18,744 units were exported—showing a year-on-year increase of 14.7% and 13%, respectively. This growth highlights the strong demand for Hyundai’s commercial vehicles both domestically and internationally. With the introduction of these new models, Hyundai is strengthening its position in the global commercial vehicle industry and setting the stage for future expansion.
