Hyundai Rotem said on the 2nd that it carried out an organizational reshuffle on the 1st to strengthen competitiveness in future businesses. The key is integrating next-generation business units that had been dispersed by business institutional sector. The plan is to improve work efficiency and respond preemptively to diverse business procurement demands.
First, the defense business institutional sector's existing Defense Solution (DS) division will be renamed the AD (Aerospace·Defense) & RH (Robot·Hydrogen) division. Under the division, the structure will be reorganized from one business department and four offices to two business departments and six offices.
The Defense Solution Global Business Department, which had handled overseas defense business operations, will be renamed the AD Global Business Department with the added role of aerospace.
Organizations responsible for robots and hydrogen across the three business and research institutional sectors—defense, rail, and eco plant—will be consolidated and elevated to the RH Business Department. The RH Business Department will consist of the Robot AX Business Office and the Hydrogen Energy Business Office.
The DS Planning Office and DS Domestic Business Office, which had reported directly to the division head, will be changed to the AD & RH Planning Office and the AD Customer Experience Business Office, respectively.
The rail business institutional sector's Rail Solution Division will be renamed the RS (Rail & System) division. Its existing structure of eight offices will be reorganized into one business department and eight offices.
The Domestic Business Group, an office-level organization that oversaw domestic public procurement and private investment projects, will be elevated to the RS Customer Experience Business Department.
The Domestic Business Office and Private Investment Office, which had been under the Domestic Business Group, will be changed to the RS Domestic Business Office and RS Private Investment Business Office, respectively, and the O & M (operation·maintenance) organization within the Private Investment Office will be elevated to the RS O & M Business Office.
The core of this reshuffle is strengthening capabilities in future core businesses and customer satisfaction. The defense business institutional sector focused on expanding related businesses in line with the era of future global commercial aerospace.
Another feature is reorganizing the business department so that a single control tower oversees capabilities in physical AI (artificial intelligence) and hydrogen energy. Through this, the plan is to enhance not only operational efficiency but also consistent business execution and completeness.
The rail institutional sector overhaul focused on timely delivery by further raising the domestic contribution rate of domestically produced high-speed rail cars, which recently achieved their first overseas export result, and by actively responding to growing domestic private investment project demand.
A Hyundai Rotem official said, "As a corporations engaged in a national key industry, we carry out all businesses with a strong sense of responsibility," adding, "We will do our best to ensure that strengthening future business capabilities through this organizational reshuffle can lead to customer delight."
