Hyundai Motor South Africa is always in search of new professional talents, who want to revolutionise the automotive branch of the country through “new ideas and new possibilities”. We have continued the path of success by upholding and practicing the spirit and values handed down from the company’s founders.
We believe that the future of our organisation lies in the hearts and capabilities of individual members, and will help them develop their potential by creating a corporate culture that respects and nurtures talent. Hyundai operates the second largest automobile manufacturing facility in the world in Ulsan, South Korea which has an annual production capacity of 1.6 million units. The company employs approximately 75,000 people worldwide. Hyundai vehicles are sold in 193 countries through 5,000 dealerships and showrooms.
Initially well received, the Excel’s faults soon became apparent; cost-cutting measures caused reliability to suffer. With an increasingly poor reputation for quality, Hyundai sales plummeted, and many dealerships either earned their profits on repairs or abandoned the product. At one point, Hyundai became the butt of many jokes (i.e. Hyundai stands for “Hope you understand nothing’s driveable and inexpensive”)
