Hyundai Mobis starts mass production of PE systems in Slovakia
The new facility is Hyundai Mobis’ first PE system plant in Europe and its third electrification production base in the region. With production lines for stators, inverters and other components, the plant has an annual production capacity of up to 280,000 PE systems.
Hyundai Mobis has commenced full-scale mass production of PE (Power Electric) systems in Europe, with the opening of its new PE system plant in Nováky, Slovakia.
Following the production of battery system assemblies (BSAs) in the Czech Republic and Spain, the South Korean company will now mass produce and supply PE systems in Slovakia, according to a media release.
The new facility is Hyundai Mobis’ first PE system plant in Europe and its third electrification production base in the region.
The new plant occupies a site of approximately 106,000 square meters, equivalent to roughly 15 football fields, and has a total floor area of 8,500 square meters. With production lines for stators, a core component of electric motors, as well as inverters and other components, the facility has an annual production capacity of up to 280,000 PE systems.
The company has invested a total of approximately KRW 250 billion (about USD 185 million) to further enhance its production capabilities and ensure it is equipped to respond promptly to customer needs, the media release said.
“To realize Hyundai Mobis’ future vision, we will continue to invest and devote our efforts to establishing the Nováky PE system plant as a key electrification hub in Europe,” Hyundai Mobis President Lee Gyu Suk said. “Looking ahead, strategic models from global automakers equipped with Hyundai Mobis PE systems will lead the European electrification market.”
The new Nováky plant is expected to serve as an integrated hub capable of supplying key electrification components to Hyundai Motor and Kia as well as global customers.
