The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Yoon Sang-Jick) announced that domestic sales recorded year-on-year growth of 3.0% in May, a fifth consecutive month of growth, according to the estimates of the car industry for May.

However, production (373,470 units) and export (255,187 units) declined by down 3.0% and down 5.1% year-on-year due to there being less business days. Domestic sales maintained the growth trend for a fifth consecutive month thanks to the effect of the launch of new cars and growing demand for RVs, but the growth has been significantly slowed compared to the period from January to April.

In particular, a decline in exports was recorded in four months of growth due to declines of exports by GM Korea to EU and Eastern Europe. The automotive production volume for May was recorded at 373,470 units, a year-on-year decline of 3.0% due to there being less business days. Despite the weak consumer demand and less business days, the domestic sales recorded growth for five consecutive months with year-on-year growth of 3.0% thanks to the effect of the launch of new cars and growing demand for RVs.

The sales volume of imported cars for May was recorded at 15,314 units, with year-on-year growth of 14.2%, thanks to the continued robust sales of German brand cars. Meanwhile, the export volume of the automotive sector for May was recorded at 255,187 units, a year-on-year decline of 5.1%, due to the decline in exports by GM Korea to EU and Eastern Europe.

Newly emerging hot competition between top-ranked automakers of S. Korea and Japan

August 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Top-ranked automakers of South Korea and Japan are in a fierce competition race toward preemptive release of in-vehicle semiconductors, an area considered as one of current hottest industrial realms for the next-generation smart car business.

Japanese top-ranked car maker Toyota began its development steps for such semiconductors in the late-1990s, being one step ahead of Hyundai Motor in the vehicle semiconductor field. But Hyundai Motor, which joined the development in 2012, is rapidly snapping at the Japanese carmaker’s heels by increasing investment in research and development (R&D). The expectations are high that the gap will be narrowed soon, given the fact that Korea has considerable expertise in the semiconductor field.

Hyundai Motor Group said Thursday it would build an R&D center for developing vehicles’ electronic management and in-vehicle semiconductor in Dangjeong, Gunpo city, Gyeonggi province from the second half of this year. The new center will reportedly be based in a location near the headquarters of Hyundai KEFICO, which is in charge of the group’s electronic management. “We aim to fully build the center by the first half of next year with an estimated 100 billion won (about $97.9 million) investment in the construction,” said an official at Hyundai Motors.

Hyundai Motor Group recently noted that it would build an R&D center for developing vehicles’ electronics management and in-vehicle semiconductors in Dangjeong, Gunpo city, Gyeonggi province from the second half of this year.

It aims to fully build the center by the first half of next year with an estimated 100 billion won ($97.9 million) investment in the construction.

Meanwhile, the strong rival Toyota has already developed and decided to embed silicon carbide (SiC), a compound of silicon and carbon, in power control components of hybrids.

On-Line Electric Vehicle(OLEV)

May 21, 2014 by 16 Comments

1405M42https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry[INQ. NO. 1405M42] On-Line electric vehicle(OLEV) developed by KAIST operates on the electric energy converted from the magnetic field which is generated by electric power cables laid under the road (15 cm), using the pick-up devices mounted on the bottom of the vehicle.

The OLEV system doesn’t need charging stations because the vehicle is charged wirelessly in real time while running on the road. Since it’s battery capacity also is reduced to 1/5 of a typical pure electric vehicle, the OLEV is regarded as an enabling technology to speed up the commercialization of electric vehicle.

The OLEV technology was successfully applied and demonstrated in Seoul Grand Park by installing about 400m of power cables on 2.2km circular track and operating an OLEV tram. Furthermore, KAIST Wireless Power Transfer Research Center has decided to launch the electrification projects in Park City, Utah, United States and Kuala Lumpur Airport, Malaysia.
