Hyundai Mobis is moving its domestic automotive semiconductor program toward vehicle testing and eventual production. At the second Automotive Semiconductor Forum on October 21, the company said target vehicle models had been selected for nine of the 13 semiconductor types under development with Korean technology partners.

The first applications are planned for new Hyundai Motor vehicles scheduled for release in 2029, according to Financial News. Hyundai Mobis President Lee Kyu-suk said localized automotive semiconductors could enter mass production around that year, while vehicles equipped with the devices are expected to be used in testing from next year.

From design to vehicle validation

The initiative is expanding beyond chip design and manufacturing. A vehicle semiconductor One Team task force led by Hyundai Mobis and other participants will also address software, testing, evaluation and functional safety.

The forum brought together 53 companies and institutions, compared with 27 a year earlier. The group has identified 19 collaborative system semiconductor projects, with development under way on 13 types. Participants include Hyundai Motor Company, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, SK keyfoundry and LX Semicon.

For investors, the program points to a longer development cycle rather than an immediate earnings contribution. Its stated objective is to create a domestic supply chain and secure stable demand for Korean semiconductor designers, foundries and packaging companies. Commercial adoption will depend on testing, validation and the transition to series production.
