According to the statement by Hyundai Motor Group, the investment will be carried out between 2025 and 2028, expanding the group’s operations in the steel, automotive, and robotics sectors. Within this scope, Hyundai plans to create around 25,000 direct jobs by 2028.
The additional $5 billion investment comes on top of the $21 billion plan announced in March 2025, aiming to strengthen the group’s presence in the American market.
As part of the investment, the group will establish a new steel plant in Louisiana to support industries such as automotive manufacturing, reinforce local supply chains, and enhance industrial resilience.
The group’s automotive affiliates, Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation, will expand their production capacities in the U.S. to meet changing consumer needs.
Hyundai will also build an advanced robotics facility with an annual production capacity of 30,000 units. Covering design, manufacturing, testing, and application processes, the center will become one of the hubs of the robotics ecosystem in the United States.
25,000 new direct jobs to be created
Through these initiatives, approximately 25,000 new direct jobs will be created in the U.S. over the next four years, contributing to the American economy.
The group, which accelerates technology commercialization through its U.S.-based tech affiliates Boston Dynamics (robotics) and Motional (autonomous driving), is also expanding collaborations with leading American companies in future technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous driving.
Since its entry into the U.S. market in 1986, the group has invested more than $20.5 billion in the country, aligning its growth with national development.
The latest investment once again highlights the group’s commitment to the U.S. economy and its role as a partner in innovation, sustainability, and long-term prosperity.
