SEOUL, January 14 (AJP) - Hyundai Rotem, a South Korean manufacturer with operations spanning defense, rail and plant engineering, has reorganized its business to position robots and hydrogen as its primary growth engines.
The company said Wednesday that it has carried out a broad restructuring aimed at strengthening competitiveness in robot and hydrogen technologies. Central to the overhaul is the creation of a dedicated unit that consolidates both businesses into a single strategic pillar.
Under the reorganization, Hyundai Rotem established a Robot & Hydrogen Business Office, bringing together a robot sales team and a robot research team.
The company also created an AI Robot Team, signaling a broader push to elevate unmanned systems and AI as core, companywide capabilities. In addition, an Aerospace System Team was created under the Aerospace Development Center.
Hyundai Rotem said the changes are intended to prepare the company for the “physical AI era,” with plans to apply unmanned technologies, artificial intelligence and hydrogen energy across its core businesses to upgrade its operating structure.
A Hyundai Rotem official said the reorganization is aimed at strengthening technological competitiveness over the mid- to long term while building a faster and more flexible operating system. "We plan to pursue upgrades to our core businesses through execution-focused changes," the official said.
