Hyundai Mobis said on the 10th that it will hold the "2026 R&D Tech Day," where it will unveil about 60 next-generation technologies including electrification and software-defined vehicles (SDV), at its Yongin, Gyeonggi, technical research center through the 18th.
R&D Tech Day is an event where Hyundai Mobis unveils research and development outcomes to major domestic partners and industry officials.
This year's theme is "expansion from mobility parts to future Robotics." The exhibition is composed of six zones for core mobility parts and Robotics components. Hyundai Mobis will also unveil for the first time two actuators under development.
In the user experience (UX) zone, visitors can experience the holographic windshield display and the Virtual Reality (VR) head-up display that won a CES Innovation Award earlier this year, as well as a premium audio system.
Global client representatives from North America and Asia are also expected to visit the event. They are said to be touring the exhibition hall and technical research center and discussing orders and technology cooperation.
Hyundai Mobis selects products with research and development competitiveness as "Hero" products and fosters them as key order items. At this Tech Day, it will showcase 10 Hero products.
A representative product is the next-generation battery system for hybrid vehicles. It can accommodate pouch-type, prismatic, and cylindrical battery cells. The cooling methods support both liquid and air cooling. A venting valve was applied to discharge gas externally when abnormal high temperatures occur.
In the electronics field, it will unveil an integrated controller that combines Autonomous Driving and parking functions. Currently, in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), the driving controller recognizes long-distance ranges and the parking controller recognizes short-distance ranges, respectively. Hyundai Mobis said it integrated these to enhance convenience and safety. It also noted improved pedestrian protection in low-speed driving or parking modes.
It will also introduce a next-generation airbag that protects rear-facing occupants. In fully Autonomous Driving mobility with face-to-face seating between the first and second rows, it protects first-row passengers from rear impacts. It was developed for purpose-built vehicles (PBV).
In addition, it will exhibit as Hero products a suspension system that can make a U-turn within the width of two lanes, a four-wheel independent steering system capable of high-speed driving, fire-resistant materials that block thermal transfer and withstand high-temperature environments, and a new process that increases electric motor output.
