The automaker’s CEO has emphasized that domestically produced trucks in the U.S. could serve as a key driver of growth, particularly through expanded exports. This strategic shift signals Hyundai’s ambition to strengthen its presence in the commercial truck market while leveraging local production advantages. The move comes as competition in the segment intensifies, with potential implications for both domestic and global supply chains.
