MUNICH and SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled Concept THREE, its first compact electric vehicle (EV) concept under the IONIQ sub-brand, at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.

The debut represents Hyundai Motor’s commitment to offering exceptional EVs in a rapidly evolving global market, where the focus shifts from technological advancement to experiences of emotional fulfillment.

At IAA Mobility 2025, Hyundai Motor will also showcase its full EV lineup and outline its European electrification strategy, reinforcing its role as a leader in Europe’s transition to clean energy.

Global Unveiling of the Concept THREE

At the heart of Hyundai Motor’s participation at IAA Mobility 2025 is the global debut of Concept THREE, an innovative compact EV concept that represents the next step in the company’s electrification journey.

As the first compact EV concept under the IONIQ sub-brand, Concept THREE signals Hyundai Motor’s future expansion into a new vehicle category, complementing its existing midsize and large EV models.

With Europe experiencing a surging demand for compact EVs — driven by urbanization, sustainability regulations and the growing need for space-efficient solutions — the Concept THREE demonstrates Hyundai Motor’s vision for meeting this demand by drawing on its advanced electrification capabilities.

Complementing its strategic positioning, Concept THREE’s innovative design also underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering a meaningful, emotionally resonant experience in an accessible and practical package.

Hyundai Motor anticipates the introduction of Concept THREE to set the tone for its next chapter of design innovation and strengthen its competitive position in the electrification journey.

“Returning to IAA Mobility after four years away is a true milestone, and such as occasion deserves a milestone car,” said Xavier Martinet, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Europe. “Concept THREE represents the next step in Hyundai Motor’s electrification journey. With its compact dimensions and Art of Steel design language, it embodies our vision of delivering mobility that is practical, accessible and emotionally resonant”.

Design Highlights

  • Art of Steel transforms the strength and flexibility of steel into a language of sculptural beauty. Inspired by Hyundai Motor’s advanced steel technologies, the material’s natural formability reveals flowing volumes and precise lines that evoke the distinctive aesthetic quality of steel — powerful, gentle and timeless.
  • Aero Hatch: The sculpted body creates enveloping forms using three main surfaces, while intersecting lines add visual tension. The Aero Hatch profile delivers aerodynamic efficiency and a distinctive roofline combined with a vertical tailgate, emphasizing urban versatility.
  • Parametric Pixel: Parametric Pixel lightings are featured on both front and rear of the Concept THREE. The pixels are now more expressive, forming a gradient that adds depth and visual rhythm to the overall design.
  • Material-driven design: The exterior wears an anodized-effect finish that channels the spirit of Hyundai’s Art of Steel design language—a celebration of material as muse. Lemon-tinted glass and matching wheels forge vibrant links between exterior and interior, the cabin defined by soft yellow and grey tonalities that play across shifting textures to create a space that’s both calm and expressive.
  • Furnished Space: The cabin design creates environments that feel warm, intuitive, and calming. By embracing soft volumes and user-focused layouts, it fosters a sense of serenity and clarity.
  • Customizable Experience: Modular ‘Bring Your Own Lifestyle (BYOL)’ widgets offer tailored experiences that allow customers to personalize their journey.
  • Mr. Pix: A symbolic character integrated throughout the car evokes curiosity, joy and emotional connection, offering playful storytelling through ‘hidden surprises’ and interactive design elements.
  • Sustainability: The interior envisions the use of sustainable materials such as ocean waste textiles and lightweight aluminum foam. These materials underscore Hyundai Motor’s long-term vision to reduce environmental impact while delivering premium design.

Europe: A Strategic Market for Hyundai Motor’s Electrification Journey

Hyundai Motor views Europe as a hub of innovation in the EV era, driven by its diverse cultures, advanced environmental policies and urban-focused mobility needs. The region’s demand for compact, sustainable vehicles positions Europe at the center of the company’s global electrification goals.

Nearly 80 percent of Hyundai Motor vehicles sold in Europe are locally manufactured, reflecting the brand’s deep integration and ability to tailor solutions to the unique mobility needs of both urban areas and rural communities.

Key elements of Hyundai Motor’s electrification roadmap for Europe include:

  • Expanded EV Portfolio: Offering an electrified version of every model in Europe by 2027 and releasing 21 global EV models by 2030, to match customer’s diverse mobility needs.
  • Hydrogen Innovations: Advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology as a clean energy solution for future mobility. 
  • Sustainable Manufacturing: Transitioning European production facilities to renewable energy while extending the integration of recycled and sustainable materials into vehicle designs.

Compact EVs play a critical role in addressing Europe’s urban challenges, as exemplified by the debut of the Concept THREE at IAA Mobility 2025, underscoring Hyundai Motor’s mission to make electrification accessible and attractive for European consumers.

Hyundai Motor’s Participation at IAA Mobility 2025

Hyundai Motor’s participation at IAA Mobility 2025 marks a major milestone, as the company returns to Europe’s largest mobility event for the first time in four years. With 750 exhibitors and over 500,000 visitors expected from 110 countries, IAA Mobility represents not just a showcase of mobility innovation but a critical platform for engaging with Europe’s largest EV market.

IAA Mobility has evolved significantly since 2021, transforming from a traditional motor show to a city-wide event that spans from Munich’s Messe exhibition halls to the open space in the city center. This format allows brands to directly engage with consumers in immersive and interactive ways, making it a perfect stage for Hyundai Motor’s ambition to lead Europe’s electrification movement.

Hyundai Motor will draw eyes at the IAA Open Space with a 58-meter-wide, 7-meter-tall booth located in Munich’s bustling city center, Ludwigstraße. Inspired by Parametric Pixel, a key design element on Hyundai Motor vehicles, the booth features six oversized glass pixels that exude a commanding presence. This design reinforces Hyundai Motor’s commitment to innovation and emotive design leadership while creating a striking visual presence that stands out among competitors.

Key highlights of Hyundai Motor’s booth include:

  • Parametric Pixel design: Inspired by Hyundai Motor’s signature lighting, Parametric Pixel, the 7-meter-tall booth with blue glass façades draws eyes.
  • Global unveiling of Concept THREE: Reflecting Hyundai Motor’s ambitions in Europe’s B-segment, a critical market for compact EVs, the Concept THREE is introduced for the very first time.
  • Design exhibitions: Design elements come to life through a curated showcase. A sculpture inspired by Concept THREE’s exterior is a pure expression of how steel’s beauty, strength and flexibility have been incorporated into the vehicle’s design. A furnished lounge chair, with its hard-shell structure and curved upholstery, reflects the inspiration behind the concept’s seat and console composition.

Completing the experience, the ‘Hyundai AddGear’ display — showcasing the solution for flexible item mounting in the vehicle — lets visitors experience modular in-car accessories firsthand.

  • Comprehensive EV lineup: Featuring seven electrified models, including KONA Electric, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 N, IONIQ 9 and INSTER Cross, along with Concept THREE and INSTEROID, Hyundai Motor’s lineup spans from compact EV to three-row SUV.
  • Test drive opportunities: For a firsthand electrified experience, 9 models are offered for test drives — KONA Electric, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 9, INSTER, INSTER Cross, TUCSON PHEV and SANTA FE PHEV.

IAA Mobility is not just an exhibition; it is a global stage for the future of mobility. Hyundai Motor’s return to the event in 2025 reinforces its ambition to lead in the European EV market, leveraging the IAA Mobility as a platform to redefine urban mobility and introduce the next chapter of its electrification journey.

Global hydrogen industry surpasses USD 110 billion in committed investment as 500+ projects worldwide reach maturity

MILAN and BRUSSELS, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The clean hydrogen sector has reached a major milestone, with USD 110 billion in investment now committed across more than 500 projects worldwide that are past final investment decision (FID), in construction, or already operational; a USD 35 billion increase since last year. Since 2020, the sector has averaged a 50% year-over-year committed investment growth rate according to the Hydrogen Council’s inaugural Global Hydrogen Compass report, co-authored with McKinsey & Company.

This progress is accompanied by natural attrition, as projects with the strongest business cases advance and less viable ones are withdrawn, demonstrating continued maturation across the industry. Since 2020, more than 1,700 hydrogen projects have been announced globally, a 7.5-fold increase, while approximately 50 projects have been publicly cancelled in the past 18 months, representing about 3% of the total pipeline; most of them early-stage renewable hydrogen ventures. Structural challenges, including persistently high interest rates and delayed policy implementation in some regions, are adding pressure to this selection process.

On the supply side, total committed capacity now exceeds 6 million tonnes per year (mtpa), including 1 mtpa already in operation. After accounting for delays and expected attrition, the current project pipeline could support up to 9-14 mtpa of clean hydrogen capacity by 2030, but requires demand to materialize, and unlocking it is the next big challenge. On the demand side, about 3.6 mtpa of binding offtake has been secured. As policy clarity emerges in key markets such as the EU, US, Japan, and Korea, up to 8 mtpa of clean hydrogen demand could materialize by 2030.

China is leading the world in total committed investments (USD 33 billion) and renewable hydrogen production (over 50% of global renewable capacity), followed by North America (USD 23 billion), which is also home to 85 % of global low-carbon hydrogen production. Europe ranks third in committed investment (USD 19 billion), while accounting for nearly two thirds of expected 2030 global demand. 

The Global Hydrogen Compass builds on the Hydrogen Council’s Hydrogen Insights series, first launched in 2021, to offer a clear, fact-based view of the state of the global hydrogen industry. For the first time, the publication combines comprehensive industry data with direct perspectives from global CEOs and lessons learned from some of the world’s most significant hydrogen projects. It sends a message of confidence, clarity and urgency from industry leaders: despite a challenging environment, the majority of surveyed CEOs report stable or increased investment appetite over the last two years (74%), believe that hydrogen will be a critical decarbonization solution for hard-to-abate sectors (97%) as well as across the broader economy (65%), and expect industry growth to continue (83%).

Jaehoon Chang, Vice-Chair of Hyundai Motor Group and Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council, said: “The Global Hydrogen Compass sends a strong message: our industry has entered the next chapter of build-out, moving from ambition to delivery. With more than 500 projects advancing past FID and investment commitments now exceeding USD 110 billion, a USD 35 billion increase from last year, we are seeing tangible proof of progress. This milestone also reminds us of the work ahead. To sustain this momentum and fully unlock hydrogen’s potential, consistent policy support and effective execution are essential in accelerating a clean, resilient and secure energy future.”

Sanjiv Lamba, CEO of Linde and Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council, said: “The industry has made strong progress over the past five years, demonstrating its ability to innovate and scale. The Global Hydrogen Compass report shows we are now at a pivotal juncture: accelerating market creation and securing binding offtake agreements must become the priority to ensure today’s projects deliver real impact. Achieving this will require stronger collaboration between business and government to build the frameworks and partnerships essential for progress. By aligning our efforts, we can unlock the full potential of hydrogen to meet the challenges ahead.”

Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of the Hydrogen Council, said: “Bringing together direct perspectives from global CEOs, robust industry data, and insights from some of the world’s key hydrogen projects, our inaugural Global Hydrogen Compass report shows the industry’s steady growth trajectory over the last five years and provides the clarity and confidence businesses, investors, and policymakers need as we enter the next phase of build-out.”

About Global Hydrogen Compass

The Global Hydrogen Compass is the Hydrogen Council’s new annual publication tracking the progress and priorities of the global hydrogen industry. Building on the Council’s Hydrogen Insights series launched in 2021, it offers a clear, data-driven view of the sector’s evolution.

ROHM Has Developed Ultra-compact CMOS Op Amp: Delivering Industry-leading Ultra-low Circuit Current

KYOTO, Japan, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ROHM Co., Ltd. has announced that its ultra-compact CMOS Operational Amplifier (op amp) TLR1901GXZ achieves the industry’s lowest operating circuit current (*1). This IC is optimized to be applied as a measurement-sensing amplifier in size-constrained applications such as handheld measurement instruments, wearable devices, and indoor motion detectors.

ROHM has advanced its process, packaging, and proprietary Nano Energy (TM) (*2) circuit technologies to develop an op amp that addresses three key requirements: lower power consumption, higher accuracy, and compact size. The newly developed TLR1901GXZ achieves an ultra-compact footprint of less than 1mm2 by adopting a WLCSP (wafer-level chip scale package) with a fine ball pitch of 0.35mm while delivering an industry-leading low operating current of 160nA (typ.).

Moreover, the TLR1901GXZ features an exceptionally low input offset voltage of just 0.55mV (max.), one of the best among ultra-low current op amps. A maximum input offset voltage temperature drift of 7uV per degrees Celsius ensures high accuracy operation over the operating temperature range.

Going forward, ROHM will continue to pursue further power savings in op amps by advancing both miniaturization and original ultra-low power technologies. At the same time, the company is committed to improving device performance by reducing noise and offset, expanding power supply voltage ranges, and contributing to solving social issues through more precise application control.
