Hyundai Chooses TomTom to Support Vehicle Line-up in Europe With Maps & Traffic

TomTom, the geolocation technology specialist, has announced that its maps and real-time traffic data have been chosen by Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) to support its entire vehicle lineup in Europe. Over the coming years, millions of HMG vehicles will come equipped with this technology as standard.

As was already the case for Genesis drivers, all Hyundai and Kia customers in Europe will now utilise TomTom’s high-quality maps supporting their vehicles’ in-dash navigation and level-two automated driving features.

Genesis, HMG’s premium brand, launched its model lineup in Europe in 2021, equipped with TomTom’s maps and real-time traffic technology.

TomTom’s maps help carmakers enable advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to better anticipate the road ahead.

Haeyoung Kwon, Vice President and Head of Infotainment Development Group, HMG, says: “We are thrilled that all Hyundai and Kia drivers in Europe will benefit from the comfort and safety provided by TomTom’s best-in-class geolocation technology. TomTom is a partner we trust to deliver highly accurate map data that enhances our Highway Driving Assist technology, and real-time traffic information that helps us optimize navigation guidance and ETAs.”

“It’s a pleasure to expand our relationship with Hyundai Motor Group so that each and every one of their cars in Europe will be equipped with TomTom’s technology”, adds Antoine Saucier, Managing Director, TomTom Automotive. “Hyundai Motor Group is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking players in the automotive industry, and we look forward to collaborating over the coming decade, creating pioneering solutions that provide freedom of movement in a safe, enjoyable, and clean way.”

Headquartered in Amsterdam with offices worldwide, TomTom’s technologies are used by hundreds of millions of drivers, businesses and governments every day.
