Hyundai Awarded 'OEM Of The Year' At AutoTech Detroit Conference 2024
Hyundai Motor America has been honoured with the 'OEM of the Year' award by WardsAuto at the AutoTech Detroit Conference in Novi, Michigan. This marks the second time Hyundai has received this accolade, having previously won in 2021. The award was presented on June 4, 2024, recognising Hyundai's contributions to automotive and technology leadership.
In addition to the 'OEM of the Year' award, Hyundai also received the 'Collaborative Partnership of the Year' award alongside Parkopedia. This recognition was for their joint efforts in launching the Hyundai Pay service, introduced in the 2024 Hyundai Kona. The award was accepted by Hans-Hendrik Puvogel, COO of Parkopedia, and John Robb, President of HATCI.
Randy Parker, CEO of Hyundai Motor America, expressed gratitude for the awards. "Hyundai appreciates the prestigious ‘OEM of the Year’ honour by WardsAuto for a second time," he said. "The honours further acknowledge our efforts in providing leading-edge products, creative designs and forward-thinking technologies, all at reasonable price-points."
David Zoia, senior director of content at Wards Intelligence, praised Hyundai's commitment to electrification. "Hyundai is one automaker that never fails to wow us. It has consistently delivered reliable, affordable battery-electric vehicles at this early stage of the industry’s transformation to electrification," he noted.
Zoia highlighted Hyundai's significant investments in new models and electronic architectures. Despite some automakers slowing their investment in BEVs, Hyundai has pledged billions towards development. The company also continues to advance in cockpit technology and design, as evidenced by its numerous Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX award wins.
