JAKARTA - South Korean automotive giant Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), officially formed a multi-year partnership extension with Vodafone Business in providing streaming services and car infotainment connected to more than 40 countries in European territory.

In the extension of the partnership, Vodafone Business will provide a Global Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity service for connected car services to millions of car models under the auspices of HMG such as Hyundai, KIA, and Genesis sold in Europe.

By recording positive sales in European territory by selling nearly 1.1 million units last year, Hyundai's cooperation between the two companies is expected to be a leader in providing innovative mobility solutions.

Haeyung Kwon, as Vice President of Infotainment Development Center HMG, said that the driving experience has changed with the development of the times. Therefore, HMG entrusted Vodafone as a partner to connect Hyundai vehicle users with the latest information.

"Thanks to a sustainable partnership, we will be able to realize our vision for the automotive world of the future. We look forward to seeing this partnership develop so that we can realize the real Hyundai Motor Group mobility," Kwon said on Hyundai's official website, Thursday, June 15.

Meanwhile, Erik Brenneis, Director of IoT Vodafone Business, said that his party always offers different solutions in implementing the technology Hyundai wants to build.

"Vodafone and Hyundai have been shaping the future of vehicle mobility since 2018, and the extension of our partnership, meaning we can improve the experience of millions of more customers across Europe," said Erik.

HMG-owned car users such as Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis in Europe can take advantage of fast and reliable access to streaming features such as audio/videos and Wi-Fi hotspots using Vodafone's IoT connectivity devices.

By leveraging a strong global IoT platform from Vodafone Business, which has supported 160 million connections, HMG can provide better service to Hyundai vehicle users, increasing their mobility rate.
