Hyundai Motor unveiled its Electric-Global Modular Platform, or E-GMP, which will serve as the core technology in building 23 battery-electric models (BEVs) and selling over 1 million units worldwide by 2025.
The E-GMP will set the ground for the group’s plans to introduce a range of BEV starting 2021.
Among the automobile group’s next-generation electric vehicles to be built with the E-GMP are Hyundai Motor’s Ioniq 5 and Kia Motor’s first electric vehicle.
BEVs are those that only use energy stored in rechargeable battery packs without a secondary source of propulsion.
E-GMP provides higher development flexibility compared to the group’s existing platforms, which are engineered to accommodate internal combustion engines.
According to Albert Biermann, president and head of R&D for Hyundai Motor Group, they are extending our technological leadership with their rear-wheel driven based E-GMP into segments where customers demand excellent driving dynamics and outstanding efficiency.
He added that their front-wheel-driven Hyundai and Kia BEVs are already among the most efficient ones in their segments.
The E-GMP offers an 800-volt charging capability, delivering 80 percent of charge in 18 minutes.
Every 5 minutes of charging allows a vehicle to run about 100 kilometers, while a full charge enables a car to travel over 500 kilometers.
A 400-volt charging will also be available through the integrated power electric system.
The automaker emphasized high-performance models based on E-GMP could accelerate from zero to 100 kph in less than 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 260 kph.
The E-GMP will be utilized for Hyundai’s high-performance N-Line cars, and possibly on a high-powered version of Kia and Genesis.
Kia plans to increase its sales of BEVs to 20 percent of its total by 2025.
Hyundai added that the platform's components will optimize driving dynamics and safety while maximizing cabin space.
