Hyundai Motor announced on the 25th (Tuesday) that it signed a business agreement to build a ST1-based AI transportation platform at its headquarters in Gangnam-daero on the 24th (Monday) with key stakeholders such as Hyundai Motor's domestic SV office director Oh Ki-yong, CEO Sendy Yeom Sang-joon, and Kim Hye-jin.
This agreement was made under the common goal of enhancing sales stability and work convenience for cargo owners by combining Hyundai Motor's electrification business platform 'ST1' and Sendy's 'AI-based transportation optimization program'.
With this agreement, Hyundai Motor will install the AI driver program developed by Sendy on ST1 and provide vehicle data and technical support necessary for real-time linkage and efficient operation.
Hyundai's ST1 can travel up to 317 kilometers on a single charge, and it is a vehicle specialized for cargo transportation in the city center because it has a low stepper, a high loading dock, and a large loading capacity.
Sendi's driver program on Hyundai Motor ST1 is a vehicle application (app) that uses AI technology to minimize tolerance rates (ratio of driving empty cars) and provide optimal transportation routes to increase the convenience and profitability of cargo owners.
The two companies aim to first recruit and provide services to cargo owners who wish to use ST1 in the metropolitan area from the second quarter, and expand the region to major cities nationwide to operate a total of 100 vehicles within the year.
We hope that the transportation business using ST1 will develop into a new level of business through intelligent AI rather than a simple delivery business, a Hyundai Motor official said. "We will continue to actively support safe and efficient transportation business through various cooperation."
