Hyundai Mobis has developed a film that enhances the output efficiency of electric vehicle motors. In addition, the company is accelerating its efforts in 'vehicle new material innovation' by developing wood-based materials to replace plastics.

Recently, Hyundai Mobis succeeded in developing a 'polyetheretherketone film' that increases the output of electric vehicle motors by about 5%. This high-performance plastic is heat-resistant yet lightweight, and when used to wrap the copper wires (coils) inside the motor, it blocks abnormal current flows and overheating, thereby enhancing motor output.

Hyundai Mobis is also focusing on developing eco-friendly materials. Lignocellulose, which is set to be commercialized for the first time in the industry, is a new material processed from pulverized wood to have properties similar to plastic. When mixed with other materials, it can be used to make vehicle bumper covers and more. A Hyundai Mobis representative, who is part of the company's team of approximately 100 new material research and development (R&D) specialists, stated that they will "increase collaborations with major universities and energy and chemical companies" for new material development.
