"By transitioning to electrification, supporting a hydrogen economy, and helping create smart cities, we are helping society move closer to carbon neutrality. It's very gratifying to earn this recognition from Reuters for the Company and for Angela."

According to the Reuters Automotive D.R.I.V.E. judges, "Hyundai is one of the biggest automakers truly putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to sustainability. It's been a strong, early competitor in the modern EV race, it is expanding its EV production footprint all over the world, it continues to experiment with future-facing technology like hydrogen and personal mobility, and it deserves many accolades for its excellent EV, hybrid and PHEV lineup."

Hyundai is guided by its brand vision - Progress for Humanity – which aims to ensure universal mobility without causing harm to the planet. The goal is to provide freedom of movement by investing in mobility services, building close relationships with leading mobility service providers and expanding beyond the automotive transportation sector. "Hyundai has a great vision of valuable robotic technologies, H2 and BEV. A holistic approach to the future of mobility," the judges noted.  

In addition to the brand recognitions, Angela Zepeda, chief marketing officer for Hyundai Motor America, was named as an "Empowering Woman" for her leadership, vision and dedication to the automotive industry.
