Hyundai Rotem is presenting its future business blueprint by showcasing unmanned mobility integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Hyundai Rotem announced on the 23rd that it will participate in the '2025 Asia Machinery & Manufacturing Expo (AMXPO)' held at KINTEX, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, until the 26th.

AMXPO is the largest exhibition in Northeast Asia that explores smart manufacturing technology and the future of the machinery industry. This year, a total of over 140 companies are participating to share advanced technologies.

Hyundai Rotem is showcasing its technological capabilities developed based on defense products. In line with the trends in the next-generation mobility market, the company has set up a booth focusing on unmanned, electrification, and eco-friendly technologies. The unmanned mobility specialized exhibition space features vehicles integrated with AI technology, such as unmanned firefighting robots and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for port operations, welcoming visitors.

The unmanned firefighting robot is based on Hyundai Rotem's multipurpose unmanned vehicle 'HR-SHERPA,' developed for military use. It is a mobility specialized for rapid fire suppression. The model is being developed in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group and the National Fire Agency, designed to be deployed in areas difficult for humans to access, performing self-extinguishing tasks to reduce human and property damage. The port AGV, supplied to Busan New Port, which has established the nation's first fully automated facility, automatically transports containers from the dock to the unloading location. Last year, Hyundai Rotem signed a supply contract for the automated terminal at Gwangyang Port, achieving consistent results in large domestic port logistics. Particularly, active research and development (R&D) to increase the localization rate are underway, aiming to secure high competitiveness in terms of maintenance services and operational rates in the future.

The exhibition hall, composed of press equipment, features real press transfer devices, stack presses, battery can presses, and other automated and metal forming equipment. The stack press is a high-precision, high-speed press equipment that produces cores, a key component of electric vehicles. The battery can press produces covers that protect electric vehicle batteries from external impacts. The press transfer device quickly moves automotive panels stamped by Hyundai Rotem's press, capable of transferring up to 17 sheets per minute (SPM, Stroke Per Minute).

Hyundai Rotem's press equipment, first introduced to the global market at the China International Metal Forming Exhibition in June, is expected to become a new growth engine in the expanding electric vehicle market, according to Hyundai Rotem.

In the eco-friendly infrastructure space, a hydrogen society utilizing next-generation energy sources is realized. A large hydrogen diorama, first unveiled at 'Innotrans,' the world's largest railway exhibition held in Berlin, Germany last year, is prominently displayed. It is an exhibit showcasing Hyundai Rotem's future vision, encompassing hydrogen production infrastructure to hydrogen mobility. Additionally, the graphic space located behind the diorama introduces various steel plant supply achievements and capabilities, including cold rolling facilities requiring precise processing technology and crane equipment for moving heavy facilities.

A Hyundai Rotem representative stated, "We will provide a variety of attractions by creating a complex exhibition space where visitors can experience next-generation infrastructure business technologies," adding, "Hyundai Rotem will strive to inherit and develop the manufacturing technology capabilities accumulated over decades to lead the future mobility market."
