Hyundai Auto Group has invested $5.4 million into opening its first electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturing plant in the United States. More specifically, this plant will be located in Bryan County in the Peach state. The plant will be possible by Genesee and Wyoming’s Georgia Central Railway. This exciting announcement was made this past May with the help of Georgia Governor, Brian P. Kemp, as well as executives from the Hyundai Motor Group, and state and local economic leaders. Construction of this EV plant is set to start in January of 2023. It will be up and running by 2025, producing a wide range of fully electric vehicles. This is just the beginning to this long awaited Hyundai investment, so keep reading to find out more!
Prime Location
The annual production and capacity of this plant is to range in 300,000 vehicles. Taking advantage of the Georgia Railroad, this plant would bring in enough materials to support this expected production rate. It will also push out the finished vehicles, making it the largest project in Georgia state history. The location of this world-class project plant is adjacent to Interstate 16 as well as having immediate access from I-95 and I-16 to over 200 major metropolitan areas.
It’s only 28 miles from the Port of Savannah which is another positive impact that will come along with this construction. It will create over 8,000 new jobs to the Savannah area. Being one of the world’s most successful and futuristic auto brands, Georgia officials say they are happy to be a part of this huge step for Hyundai Auto Group. They are proud to share the plans for this full EV and battery manufacturing plant. The specific details of their production schedule will be available at a later date.
Partnerships That Make This Possible
As you can probably imagine, some Georgians might not be as ecstatic about the increase in traffic. Rest assured that a lot of leaders, other business owners, and communities are taking these things into consideration. But they are overall excited about beginning this project and the economic boost it could provide. It not only would bring about job opportunities, but it would essentially put Georgia more “on the map”, as the saying goes.
Euisun Chung, Hyundai Motor Group’s Executive Chair expresses their excitement in partnering with the state of Georgia. Chung has also discussed the EV plant construction with President Joe Biden. They highlight the local economic development and Class 1 rail partners that will guarantee to meet customer needs as well as bring overall increased business to the area. Governor Kemp stated, “We are proud to welcome Hyundai Motor Group to Georgia as we forge an innovative future together. From initial conversations on my economic development mission to Korea to Georgia’s investment in the Bryan County Megasite, we’ve been preparing for an opportunity like this for a long time.”
