A Hyundai has reached a significant milestone by surpassing the mark of 100 million cars built, celebrating this achievement by delivering a fully electric Ioniq 5 to a customer.
The South Korean automaker took 46 years to produce 50 million vehicles and just 11 more years to double that number, totaling 100 million since its founding in 1967.
Although the company was founded in 1967, its first factory began operations only in 1968 in Ulsan, South Korea, considered the birthplace of the Korean automotive industry.
Throughout its journey, Hyundai has expanded its operations to countries such as the Czech Republic, India, Turkey, and the United States.
