Hyundai Mobis has announced plans to combine its two existing R&D facilities into one unit and developing this new center into a strategic base dedicated to automotive software.
This new integrated large-scale center aims to accommodate the increasing number of software R&D personnel and combine the company’s dispersed R&D centers to maximize synergy. Located in the center of Hyderabad, the capital city of India’s Telangana state, the new integrated R&D base has a total floor area of about 24,000 m². The 10-story building houses research spaces, data centers, labs and training rooms, partner workspaces, and break rooms.
In aiming to develop its new R&D center into a strategic hub for boosting global sales, the company plans to develop it into an R&D hub that drives product cost competitiveness, performance, quality, and technology based on its software R&D personnel. Here, it plans to collaborate with local vehicle software companies to create an external ecosystem and strengthen its workforce. In the longer-term, Hyundai Mobis imagines the new center as a global software hub with its own business capabilities, using it as an advanced base to provide integrated solutions to global automakers.
Hyundai Mobis plans to expand the scope of software R&D at the center by increasing its participation from the early stages of new product development, developing software for local vehicles at the center, while focusing on streamlining productivity through the introduction of AI.
