~ Hyundai Motor Group is celebrating a major milestone this week as its California Proving Ground (CPG) in California City, Calif. marks 20 years of quality and performance testing. The $80 million facility, which opened in 2005, has played a crucial role in ensuring the quality, durability, reliability, and safety of over 5,000 Hyundai Motor, Kia, and Genesis vehicles.

The celebration event was held earlier this week at the CPG and was attended by top executives from Hyundai Motor Group. Euisun Chung, Executive Chair of Hyundai Motor Group, expressed his gratitude towards the CPG team for their outstanding work over the past two decades. He also emphasized the importance of pioneering technologies such as AI, robotics, Software Defined Vehicles, electrification, and hydrogen technology in shaping the future of the company.

Located in the Mojave Desert on a sprawling 4,500-acre property, the HATCI CPG serves as the center for vehicle evaluation operations in North America for Hyundai Motor Group. The facility boasts a 6.4-mile oval track, a 2-million square-foot Vehicle Dynamics Area (VDA), a winding road track spanning 2.75 miles, a 3.3-mile hill road and various specially constructed roads that replicate U.S highways.
