Hyundai showcases miniature model of smart mobility ecosystem

Hyundai is showing its smart mobility ecosystem model in the lobby of its headquarters until 12 June 2020, and at other key global events afterward, in order to further communicate its future mobility vision.

The 1:8 scale model on display is a miniature of the exhibit shown at the Consumer Electronic Show 2020 and includes integration of its Urban Air Mobility (UAM), Purpose Built Vehicles (PBV) and Mobility Transit Base (Hub) smart mobility solutions as part of a dynamic human-centred future cityscape.

The exhibition aims to inspire Hyundai employees and other audiences by showing the company's vision for future mobility as it aims to become a Smart Mobility Solution Provider. After the current exhibition ends on 12 June 2020, the model will be showcased at major events around the globe.

The miniature model demonstrates Hyundai's vision of a future mobility ecosystem in urban use.

The UAM is shown with its rotors tilting, enabling vertical take-off and landing and rotating horizontally for flight. PBVs can be seen traveling around the Hub and becomes part of the building when connected to the Hub's docking station.

The Hub is not only a space that connects UAM and PBVs, but also serves as a new concept for connecting people, reflecting Hyundai's determination to give people more quality time while providing seamless freedom of movement and the opportunity to enjoy diverse experiences. In addition, mirrors are installed on the ceiling of the exhibition space to allow an immersive viewing experience from various angles.

Videos of a future city transformed through smart mobility solutions will also be shown on large displays installed on adjacent walls. To realise its vision for smart mobility solution, Hyundai added to its design organization a dedicated team for UAM design and enhanced collaboration between UAM Division, Design Center, and Strategy and Technology Division.
