Hyundai will introduce a new platform to help it reach a goal of 1.87 million EVs annually by 2030.
, but the Korean auto giant has already announced a next-generation platform that will further standardize key parts across vehicles from the Hyundai, Kia and Genesis brands.
The new platform is known as the IMA , and it's an evolution of the E-GMP design. But unlike the E-GMP, which has different battery systems for each vehicle it supports, the IMA will have a standardized battery. The motors and key chassis components will also be standardized, all helping to improve production efficiencies.
Another key difference to the E-GMP will be increased flexibility. Hyundai brand CEO Jaehoon Chang, who announced the IMA during an investor presentation held on Wednesday, said the platform will suit all segments and will be used for both passenger vehicles and purpose-built vehicles, such as delivery vehicles and shuttles for self-driving taxi services.
Chang said Hyundai will launch 11 new EVs by 2030 and Genesis six of its own by the same date. There was no mention of how many EVs Kia will launch. Chang also said that Hyundai targets sales of 1.87 million EVs annually by the 2030 deadline.The Hyundai EVs will include three sedans, six SUVs, a light commercial vehicle, and one new type of vehicle for the Hyundai lineup .
