By investing in the Hyundai Assembly Center, Hyundai recognizes the rewards of fast tracking consumer access to our vehicles while spurring the development of the local parts manufacturing sector into an indispensable player in the regional automotive chain. And our partnership with the ASEAN Center for Biodiversity puts Hyundai at the forefront of biodiversity conservation in ASEAN.”
