Automaker Hyundai Motor Türkiye (HMTR) is investing in a new battery factory to support its production of the IONIQ 3, which will begin in August.
The company, which is allocating €55 million of its total €715 million investment to the battery factory, will integrate the cells with an automation system in collaboration with Hyundai Mobis.
The investment, which is in its final stages, is expected to produce 27,000 units in 2026 and over 40,000 units next year.
The IONIQ 3 will be available for sale in the country in September with two different battery and power options. HMTR is sourcing nickel-manganese cobalt (NMC) battery cells from Hungary, while all lithium iron phosphate (LFP) short-range batteries are sourced from China.
The battery factory will use 27 robots and perform contactless packaging for vehicle production.
“At our Izmit factory, Hyundai’s first overseas facility, we have produced 3.3 million vehicles since 1997,” said Murat Berkel, General Manager of Sales, Marketing and After-Sales at Hyundai Motor Türkiye.
