Hyundai recently hosted their ‘Unlock the Software Age’ event to shed light on their future plans to make their vehicles more connected and advanced. All future Hyundai models, starting 2025, will come with Over-the-Air (OTA) update compliance around the globe. All new models from 2023 onwards will be equipped to receive OTA updates.

OTA Updates To Boost Performance And Offer New Features

While all future models starting 2023 will be equipped to receive OTA updates, Hyundai will evolve their entire model range, including Kia and Genesis, to software defined vehicles (SDV) by 2025. It is worth noting that SDVs will include both electric and internal-combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Users will be able to update their vehicles without visiting a dealership and enhance the performance and functionality of their vehicles.

Hyundai Connected Car Operating System (CCOS)

Hyundai have revealed Connected Car Operating System (CCOS) for their future models to offer personalised services and faster data processing. To make this happen, Hyundai have joined hands with NVIDIA, which is a leading AI computing company. NVIDIA will help develop advanced semiconductor chips for faster processing and optimisation. Under this program, Hyundai will also work on improving the customer experience by forming partnerships with industry sectors like logistics, accommodation, leisure, and entertainment.

Next-Gen EV Platforms To Accelerate SDVs

At the event, Hyundai also announced their new EV platforms — eM and eS. Multiple vehicles underpinned by eM and eS platforms will start rolling out from 2025 onwards. The eM platform will underpin EVs across all segments and offer a 50% improvement in driving range. Furthermore, the eM platform will also feature Level-3 advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). The eS platform, on the other hand, will service B2B sedans with purpose built vehicles (PBVs).

Hyundai also discussed standardisation and modularisation of key EV components. By standardising the batteries and electric motors, for example, which currently vary across each EV model, the group will flexibly apply common components to each vehicle, thus efficiently expanding its lineup and also boosting profit margins.
