Toyota and Hyundai Chairmen Discuss Future of the Automotive Industry
With growing competition in the automotive sector, the chairmen of two leading car manufacturers – Toyota and Hyundai – met to discuss future development directions. The meeting, held in Tokyo, brought together Akio Toyoda, Chairman of Toyota, and Chung Euisun, Chairman of Hyundai, who exchanged views on various aspects of the industry, including the shift to electric cars and the need for developing sustainable technologies. Both companies have been actively working to expand their electric vehicle lineups and implement new technologies aimed at reducing their carbon footprint in recent years.
According to sources, one of the key topics of discussion was the joint efforts in battery development, where Toyota is focused on enhancing its lithium-ion technologies while Hyundai is exploring alternative solutions. The partnership of these strong brands could accelerate the introduction of electric vehicles in the global market.
Besides technologies, attendees also touched upon the importance of joint initiatives to expand the market.

Specific steps can be expected shortly that will help strengthen the positions of both companies.
Active presidential meetings among industry leaders may indicate that manufacturers are beginning to acknowledge the importance of uniting efforts to enhance efficiency and adapt to modern challenges associated with ecology and new technologies, which undoubtedly will become a key trend in the near future.
