现代汽车计划到2025年每年销售100万辆电动汽车

现代汽车集团(Hyundai Motor Group)将大幅削减内燃机车型的数量，以便腾出资源投资于电动汽车。

此举将使以化石燃料为动力的汽车减少50%，并补充称该策略已于3月份获得最高管理层的批准。

知情人士表明，“这是一项重要的业务举措，首先是将研发资源释放，重点集中在其他方面：电动机，电池，燃料电池，”他没有给出该计划的时间表。

现代汽车在周四的一封电子邮件中表示，它正在加速采用环保型汽车，例如氢燃料电池汽车和电池电动汽车。

这家汽车制造商补充说，其目标是逐步扩大在美国，欧洲和中国等主要市场的电池电动汽车供应，目标是到2040年实现完全电动化。

现代汽车集团(Hyundai Motor Group)的目标是到2025年每年销售约100万辆电动汽车，以占据全球电动汽车市场10%的份额。现代汽车集团旗下拥有现代汽车(Hyundai Motor Co .)、起亚(Kia Corp .)和Genesis。

面对欧洲和中国日益严格的二氧化碳排放目标，所有主要汽车制造商都在加速向电动汽车的转型。

开发电动机和增加汽车电池的续航里程的巨额成本已经使一些人说，他们对常规发动机的投资已经结束。

其中一位知情人士表示:“现代已停止为内燃机汽车开发新的动力系统。”

去年11月，在与菲亚特克莱斯勒(Fiat Chrysler)合并成立Stellantis之前不久，PSA集团表示将不再投资内燃机。

戴姆勒最近对其内燃机进行了改造，高管们表示，新一代汽车将完成电气化过程。

一些汽车制造商已经宣布了完全电动化的计划，中国吉利旗下的瑞典沃尔沃称将在2030年实现全电动化。

福特汽车公司(Ford Motor Co.)表示，其在欧洲的产品线将在同一日期完全电动

对于与起亚一起成为全球十大汽车集团之一的现代汽车，这一举动尤为重要，因为现代的发动机和传动技术是业内最广泛的技术之一。

一位消息人士称，该集团将在未来6个月内敲定转向全电动车型的战略。

现代汽车在4月表示，到2025年，它将在中国将其汽油模型的数量从21种减少到14种，同时从2022年开始每年推出新的电动车型。

今年2月，该集团表示已不再与苹果就开发自动驾驶汽车进行谈判。

知情人士称，该集团成为苹果代工制造商的想法遭到了内部的强烈反对。

Hyundai Motor Group will slash the number of combustion engine models in its line-up to free up resources to invest in electric vehicles (EVs).
The move will result in a 50% reduction in models powered by fossil fuels, one of the people said, adding the strategy was approved by top management in March.

"It is an important business move, which first and foremost allows the release of R&D resources to focus on the rest: electric motors, batteries, fuel cells," the person said, without giving a timeframe for the plan.

While Hyundai did not specifically address a Reuters query on its plans for combustion engine models, it said in an email on Thursday that it was accelerating adoption of eco-friendly vehicles such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and battery EVs.

The automaker added that it aims to gradually expand battery EV offerings in key markets such as the United States, Europe and China with a goal for full electrification by 2040.

Hyundai Motor Group, which houses Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Corp and Genesis, aims to sell about one million EVs per year by 2025 to achieve a 10% share of the global EV market.

Facing tightening CO2 emission targets in Europe and China, all major automakers are accelerating their shift to EVs.

The huge cost of developing electric motors and increasing the driving range of car batteries has already led some to say their days of investing in conventional engines are over.

"Hyundai has stopped developing new powertrains for internal combustion engine cars," one of the people said.

PSA Group said in November, shortly before merging with Fiat Chrysler to form Stellantis, that it was no longer investing in combustion engines.

Daimler has recently revamped its combustion engines and executives say the new generation will see it through the electrification process.

Some carmakers have already announced plans to go fully electric, with Sweden's Volvo, which is owned by China's Geely, saying it would do that by 2030.

Ford Motor Co says its line-up in Europe will be fully electric by the same date.

For Hyundai, which together with Kia is one of the world's top ten auto groups, the move is particularly important because it has one of the broadest ranges of engine and transmission technologies in the industry.

The group will finalise its strategy to switch to all-electric models within the next six months, one source said.

In April, Hyundai said it would cut the number of its gasoline models in China to 14 from 21 by 2025, while launching new electric models every year starting in 2022.

In February, the group said it was no longer in talks with Apple to develop an autonomous vehicle.

Sources familiar with the matter said the idea of the group becoming a contract manufacturer for Apple encountered strong internal opposition.
