Key Takeaway
Hyundai Mobis aims to enhance the competitiveness of domestic companies by defining controller-specific specifications and supporting real-vehicle validation, which accelerates development cycles. For electric drive systems, integrated design could reduce development time by nearly two years. The company has designed and mass-produced 16 types of semiconductors, exceeding 20 million units. Its semiconductor R&D processes are ISO 26262 certified, allowing collaboration with partners transitioning from consumer electronics to the mobility sector. This approach fosters collaboration, accelerates localization, and promotes the participation of domestic firms, ultimately maturing the ecosystem and ensuring automotive-grade chip production.
“To enhance the competitive edge of domestic companies, Hyundai Mobis establishes controller-specific specifications and facilitates real-vehicle validation, resulting in significantly accelerated development cycles.”
For electric drive systems—where semiconductors determine the distance a vehicle can travel on a single charge—Hyundai Mobis states that integrated design could reduce the development cycle by nearly two years.
The company is currently designing and mass-producing 16 types of semiconductors in-house, covering both power and data processing, alongside external foundries.
Production has exceeded 20 million units to date.
Its semiconductor R&D processes also hold ISO 26262 certification, allowing Hyundai Mobis to share established design and quality management practices with partners, many of whom are transitioning from consumer electronics to the mobility sector.
By providing this technical safety net, the company fosters a collaborative model that accelerates localization.
The more domestic firms participate, the quicker the ecosystem matures—resulting in shorter development cycles, diminished risk of disruption, and a broader industry base capable of producing chips to automotive-grade standards.
