Hoover's coverage by Jeff Dorsch

Overview

South Korea's #1 carmaker, Hyundai Motor produces 14 models of cars, SUVs, and minivans, as well as trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles. The company re-established itself as South Korea's leading carmaker in 1998 by acquiring a 51% stake in Kia Motors (since reduced to about 39%). Selling cars in the US since 1986, Hyundai started selling its heavy trucks stateside in 1998. Hyundai's models for the North American market include the Accent and Sonata; models sold elsewhere include the GRD and Equus. The company also manufactures machine tools for metalworking applications, such as horizontal machining, turning, and vertical machining.
