Hyundai Motor Company confirms it will be able to meet the proposed U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard of 35 mile s -per-gallon five years ahead of the federally mandated deadline. Hyundai's roadmap to achieving the 35 miles per gallon target by 2015 was announced this week at the North American International Powertrain Conference in Chicago before an audience of industry peers and federal regulators.

"We believe we have the engineering resources and the confidence to reach our target by 2015. Hyundai is determined to be the industry leader in fuel efficiency," said a senior Hyundai official. Hyundai's commitment to increasing fuel efficiency is unsurpassed in the industry. Hyundai stands alone as the only automaker to support an early implementation of the proposed U.S. corporate fleet fuel economy targets, mandated by the U.S. federal government.

The key to realizing this ambitious goal will be a continuous refinement of Hyundai's gasoline engines, the introduction of more sophisticated transmissions, the application of next-generation hybrids and new technologies like Integrated Stop and Go. Turbo-charging, gasoline direct injection (GDI), dual continuously variable valve timing and eight-speed automatic transmissions are among the other fuel-saving technologies that will be appli ed according to vehicle type and size.

Some of the key hardware enablers to Hyundai's confident fuel economy position will be unveiled on October 2 in Paris at the Mondial de L'Automobile and in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, including details on Hyundai's new and innovative Hybrid Blue Drive technology. Earlier this month, the company confirmed its plans to introduce a Sonata Hybrid to the U.S. market in 2010.

Hyundai Motor Company's corporate motto "Innovation for Humanity" is the inspirational force behind its strong commitment to improving the environment and increasing fuel economy, driving the development of eco-friendly transportation that is affordable, safe and still fun-to-drive.
