Hyundai Mobis to open proving ground
[THE INVESTOR] Hyundai Mobis said on May 16 it will open its first domestic proving ground starting in June to test auto parts and related technologies.
The country’s biggest auto parts maker by sales invested about 300 billion won (US$268 million) in the past 2 1/2 years to build the facility, a company spokesman said.
“We have built the proving ground in Seosan to test the functions of our auto parts and such cutting-edge technologies like autonomous driving in vehicles,” he said.
Hyundai Mobis in the past had to rent sites to check its auto components.
The proving ground includes a 4.2-kilometer-long high-speed test track and facilities built to test endurance and other performance metrics under various terrain and weather conditions, the company said.
