现代汽车蔚山工厂电动汽车生产线将迎年内第10次停产

Group 1 - Hyundai Motor will temporarily shut down the No. 2 production line at its Ulsan plant from December 1 to December 12, which is dedicated to electric vehicles, including the flagship model IONIQ 5. This marks the 10th temporary shutdown this year due to weak demand for electric vehicles [2] - The reduction in production is linked to changes in South Korea's electric vehicle subsidy policy, with most regions, including Seoul, having exhausted their subsidy applications for the year. This has led to a decline in electric vehicle sales from 28,528 units in September to 28,000 units in October, with further decreases expected in November [2] - The U.S. tariff policy has negatively impacted domestic electric vehicle production in South Korea, with a 15% tariff imposed on Korean cars. In response, Hyundai has expanded its electric vehicle production capacity in the U.S. at its HMGMA plant in Georgia, which began full operations this year, producing 53,194 units of IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9 from January to October [3] Group 2 - Both Hyundai and Kia reported a decline in global sales in November compared to the same period last year, with decreases of 2.4% and 0.8% respectively. However, both companies noted strong performance in SUVs and hybrid models, indicating plans to enhance market competitiveness through an expanded lineup of eco-friendly vehicles and new product launches [3]
