Electrification: Hyundai, Kia and other automakers revise their targets

Several global automakers have lowered their electrification targets and delayed electric vehicle launches, even as sales volumes rise but profitability remains under pressure. This finding of sales growth accompanied by margin erosion is highlighted by South Korean press and described as a global phenomenon. In South Korea, Hyundai, Kia and four other automakers are explicitly cited among those adjusting their targets. In Japan, the issue is also covered, though the provided sub-events do not detail a specific national position.
