Hyundai’s progressive spirit has always been the key driver of the Korean company’s success, the key ingredient to becoming the sixth-largest carmaker in the world. However, since arriving in Europe in the late 70s, there was one key missing element: a proper brand introduction. So, when Hyundai became the trailblazer in sustainable mobility in 2019, it was time to show the origin of this progress. It actually started decades ago, when the plans of a humble farmer named Chung Ju Yung would change Korea. And soon after, the world.
“An elegant retrospective tracing Hyundai’s
70-year history back to its founder.”
