Hyundai Motor Group announced that it will increase its planned investment in the United States to USD 26 billion between 2025 and 2028. This represents an additional USD 5 billion beyond the USD 21 billion allocation announced in March 2025. The funding will be directed toward projects in automotive, steel, and robotics.

Hyundai's Planned Initiatives

Steel manufacturing: Construction of a new steel mill in Louisiana intended to supply U.S. industries, including automotive manufacturing.

Automotive production: Expanded production capacity in the United States by Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation.

Robotics facility: Establishment of a robotics site with an annual capacity of 30,000 units, to be used for design, manufacturing, testing, and deployment.

The Group anticipates that these initiatives will generate approximately 25,000 direct jobs in the United States over the next four years.

Hyundai Motor Group’s U.S.-based affiliates, including Boston Dynamics and Motional, will continue work in robotics and autonomous driving. The company also plans to broaden collaboration with American firms in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous technologies.

Since entering the U.S. market in 1986, the Hyundai Motor Group has invested over USD 20.5 billion.
