Hyundai and its Clean Energy Works

This South Korean-grown company put in hard work and massive developments to its fleet, with Hyundai, now ranked as the third largest car manufacturer in the world. It bordered on its many significant developments for the automotive industry, but one of its key factors include its transition to clean energy, one of its early adopters.

Among its many car developments is the famed IONIQ lineup that centers on its battery electric vehicles (BEV) which mainly draw its power from its power cells. One iconic feature present on its IONIQ 5 is the crab walk feature, which the company dubs the e-Corner system, centering on the new steering capabilities that would sway people out of emergencies and tight situations.

The Kona was first released as a gas-powered SUV but now transitions its second version as an EV, offering an alternative to the IONIQ lineup which stands rightfully in its own league.
