Hyundai-Kia has become the world's second largest producer of alternative powered vehicles
- The Hyundai-Kia group has sold nearly 260,000 alternative-powered vehicles (HEV hybrids, PHEV plug-in hybrids, BEV electric, fuel cell) over the first 11 months of 2018, which augurs a volume of nearly 300 000 units throughout the year. This volume is reached two years before the target set by the manufacturer, which proves the success recorded by this type of Hyundai-Kia group vehicles.
- It is now the second largest manufacturer worldwide for this type of vehicle, in terms of sales, behind the Toyota group but ahead of Renault-Nissan, Tesla and Chinese manufacturers.
- Inovev estimates Toyota's alternative-engine sales at 1,600,000 units in 2018, compared to 200,000 for Renault-Nissan and 275,000 for Tesla.
- Currently, the Hyundai-Kia range with alternative engines consists of the following models: Sonata HEV, Sonata PHEV, Ioniq HEV, Ioniq PHEV, Ioniq EV, Soul EV, Niro HEV, Niro PHEV, Niro EV , Optima PHEV, Kona EV, Nexo FUEL CELL (replaces the iX35 with hydrogen). The Stonic could receive an electric motor (that of Kona). This range of twelve different models based on seven different bodies is expected to develop even further over the next five years.
