Hyundai Motor Group Expands Testing and R&D Facilities in Europe
London, January 24, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) is bolstering its leading role as an innovator and driver of change in the automotive industry by expanding its research and development (R&D) facilities in Europe by more than 25,000 square meters.
The Group is advancing its strategic focus on sustainable mobility and future-oriented expansion with the completion of its test center extension at Nürburgring and the upcoming opening of the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center’s new Square Campus in March 2025.
The Group has spent a successful decade developing at the Nürburgring, where they pioneered durability testing in 2011 and established a full-fledged test center in 2013. This history underscores its enduring commitment to advancing automotive innovation with its brands Hyundai, Kia and Genesis. The latest expansion at Nürburgring enhances the Group’s capacity with an additional 834 square meters of cutting-edge testing facilities. These include new workshop areas, specialized laboratories and high-voltage electric vehicle (EV) charging capabilities.
The expansion continues with the upcoming opening of the new Square Campus at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center. This 25,000-square-meter facility, located in the Rhine-Main region, is designed to set new benchmarks for the automotive industry. The state-of-the-art center will house the Group’s largest four-wheel noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) dynamometer (dyno), as well as advanced chassis and powertrain dynos. These devices are used to simulate and evaluate vehicle performance under various conditions without the need for on-road testing.
The facility will focus on improving EVs, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment, and electrification technologies. These capabilities aim to deliver tailored solutions that meet the changing needs of customers, particularly those in the European market.
