Our founding spirit.

Despite humble origins, our founder, Chung Ju-Yung, was a born optimist. Starting as a rice delivery boy, he went on to set up a car repair service. This later became The Hyundai Motor Group, ‘Hyundai’ meaning ‘modern times’ – encapsulating his progressive vision

An ambition to rebuild.

Determined to help rebuild his country after the Korean War, Mr Chung forged ahead with a project to reconstruct the Goryeong Bridge. Hyundai quickly became responsible for building much of the country’s road infrastructure.

Seeking new challenges.

Having proven itself in building roads and bridges, Hyundai looked to bigger challenges. Ambitious new projects included the construction of the Soyang Dam and Jubail Industrial Harbour in Saudi Arabia, forged from steel produced at Hyundai’s very own steel plants.

Progress starts with imagination.

Familiar names such as Santa Fe, Tucson, i10, i20 and i30 were launched, with new models gaining respect of both industry experts and customers alike. With a regularly updated product range and an industry-leading warranty – Hyundai became one of the world’s largest car manufacturers.

Australia in Our Cars

Around seven tenths of the iron ore Hyundai Motor Group sources to make steel for our cars comes from right here in Australia. The biggest Hyundai steel works in South Korea, Hyundai Steel’s Dangjin plant south of Seoul, produces around 12 million tonnes of steel every year. That means around 55,000 tonnes of iron ore flowing through the giant facility every day, most of it imported from the Pilbara in Western Australia. Hyundai is the only car manufacturer in the world which produces its own steel, part of the ‘value chain’ that delivers better value for money for all of our customers globally. And there’s quite a lot of Australia in every car!
