Hyundai Motor Group has announced a dedicated electric vehicle platform called E-GMP. It will be the foundation on which Hyundai's future battery-operated vehicles will be rolled out.

The Korean carmaker insists that this new platform will allow the next lineup of EVs to offer a mammoth per-charge range. E-GMP platform will serve as the core technology for Hyundai Motor Group’s next-generation Battery Electric Vehicle line-up. A number of products from 2021 will be based on this including Ioniq 5 and a yet-to-be-revealed product from Kia Motor Corporation. The giant carmaker states that E-GMP provides a vast number of advantages as compared to the existing platforms which had been engineered predominantly to accommodate internal combustion engines. A planned high-performance model to come out of this platform is being touted as a speed demon that can hit 100 kmph in just 3.5 seconds. The range is another key advantage that cars rolling out of the E-GMP platform. Hyundai informs a BEV based on E-GMP is capable of a maximum range of over 500km with a fully charged battery, according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light-duty vehicle Procedure.

A key point of note here is that E-GMP’s charging system is more flexible, unlike the previous set-up which allows only one-way charging. The E-GMP will underpin Hyundai Motor Group’s plans to introduce a total of 23 BEV models including 11 dedicated BEV models and sell more than 1 million BEVs worldwide by 2025.
