The Seoul Mobility Show, which was first launched in 1995 as the "Seoul Motor Show" and has grown in line with changes in the mobility industry since 2021, will mark its 30th anniversary this year, with 460 domestic and foreign mobility-related companies participating under the theme of ▲ Mobility Everywhere and ▲ Beyond Boundaries.
The Seoul Mobility Show Organizing Committee (Chairman Kang Nam-hoon, hereinafter referred to as the Organizing Committee) will introduce the most diverse products and services in the history of the exhibition to mark its 30th anniversary, and will introduce a large number of new products and technologies that will lead future mobility, especially with companies participating in the event for the first time.
Lotte, which will make its first debut in the Seoul Mobility Show by forming a strategic partnership with the organizing committee, will participate under the title "Beyond Partner," with three major chemical companies including Lotte Chemical, Lotte Energy Materials and Lotte Infracell, and five major Lotte Group affiliates including Lotte Innovate and Lotte Global Logistics. The exhibition will showcase future mobility technologies and services based on battery core materials, hydrogen value chains, and future energy infrastructure, which are the group's core business areas.
Lotte Innovate introduces the first driverless self-driving shuttle in Korea with a 40km/h driving permit, and conducts a self-driving shuttle test drive experience outdoors in the exhibition hall for visitors. In addition, it demonstrates "Calibus," which embodies freedom of movement with a metaverse platform, and Lotte Global Logistics introduces various future logistics technologies, from self-driving trucks to delivery robots.
Lotte Chemical Group displays core materials for secondary batteries such as anode foil, cathode foil, and separator, as well as interior and exterior materials and hydrogen tanks. In particular, it operates a hydrogen value chain model that displays hydrogen ecosystems from hydrogen production to power plants and charging stations at a glance, and an RC car experience zone where children can experience the charging process of hydrogen cars and electric cars firsthand. Through this Seoul Mobility Show, Lotte Hall plans to showcase core technologies and sustainable energy infrastructure that will lead the future mobility industry and build an innovative ecosystem in areas such as hydrogen and electric vehicle infrastructure, autonomous driving, and smart logistics.
HD Hyundai will also participate as a headline partner to display construction equipment and welcome visitors for the first time in a mobility show. In particular, through this event, HD Hyundai Construction Machinery and HD Hyundai Infracore's next-generation new model excavator are planned to be unveiled for the first time in the world. HD Hyundai's next-generation new model has greatly increased the efficiency, productivity, and safety of work by applying the latest smart construction machine technology to compete with global top-tier construction machine brands. In addition to a stronger and more sophisticated design, it also has a comfortable and luxurious interior space. HD Hyundai has also prepared a variety of experience opportunities, including 4D ride experience and digital graffiti, so that visitors to the exhibition hall can experience the excavator as mobility firsthand.
China's BYD and Britain's Lotus also set up booths for the first time at the Seoul Mobility Show and welcome visitors. BYD, which recently entered the Korean market, will introduce various electric vehicles such as SEAL, and introduce its own blade battery and electric vehicle platform e-Platform 3.0. Blade batteries use a CTP (Cell-to-Pack) method that manufactures battery cells in a long and flat shape like a blade and directly puts them in a battery pack without an intermediate medium called a "module," increasing space utilization by 50% compared to the previous one.
Lotus Motor Korea, which officially launched in Korea in 2023, plans to expand its awareness of domestic consumers and increase brand intimacy through this mobility show. It plans to expand its stride in the Korean market by displaying three types of Lotus, including the Lotus' first Hyper-electric SUV, the Hyper GT Emeya, and the Lotus' last internal combustion engine sports car, Emira.
The 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, which presents a vision for future mobility through innovation that transcends space limits such as land, sea, and aviation and breaks down boundaries between technologies, will showcase air mobility and maritime mobility together.
Sambo Motors Group presents Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and proposes a next-generation future urban air mobility solution. H-32, a multi-seater vertical take-off and landing plane, has increased flight time by applying a hybrid system based on lightweight hydrogen fuel cells for aviation that has been successfully developed for the first time in the world, and provides a safer and more comfortable urban air movement experience by applying high-intensity lightweight structure design and advanced composite materials.
In addition, 'B-22', a multi-purpose medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle in the form of vertical take-off and landing, will be displayed. Introduced at the Seoul Mobility Show, the mid-size drone is designed to develop and localize core components to ensure stable operation and high efficiency, and to play a key role in the private sector, such as emergency medical transportation, as well as defense and security, with state-of-the-art security communication modules (KCMVP) and artificial intelligence-based precision target tracking systems. In addition, light show drones used for outdoor performances will be displayed, which will be applied with its own high-performance cluster drone control software and advanced flight control modules to be used in various industries such as military use in addition to the entertainment industry.
Sambo Motors Group also plans to introduce new technologies in the robotics field, which will be responsible for another axis of future mobility. Because the ball wheel-based mobile robot "CMB-90" does not require a wider rotational radius than the existing robotics, it is applied to various spaces such as logistics warehouses, manufacturing sites, and service industries.
Vinceen, a domestic eco-friendly ship manufacturer, will unveil EPOCH II, an electric ship for leisure. Equipped with two sets of self-developed lithium-ion batteries, it can run for five hours on charge (when operated at Crushing Speed 7-8 knots), it is carefully crafted to meet customer requirements with its attractive design, easy operation, comfortable ride and impeccable work convenience. Because electricity is used as a driving force, it provides customers with safer and more comfortable leisure activities with less noise and vibration, and does not emit carbon, presenting a vision of sustainable marine mobility. The vessel will also be sold during the exhibition period.
Robros, a developer of other humanoid robots, can perform precise tasks in complex environments, presenting the overall process from design to development of AI humanoid robots specialized in service industries such as hotels and restaurants. Robros' humanoid was awarded the Excellence Award at the Red Show of the Korean Robotics Association in February.
The Seoul Mobility Show Organizing Committee said, "We are preparing for mobility shows every two years so that visitors can experience new industrial trends firsthand and provide a foothold for growth to participating companies," adding, "We will make every effort to prepare this year to be a special opportunity to meet the possibility of mobility evolving in various forms amid rapidly changing future technologies and lifestyle changes."
Meanwhile, the "2025 Seoul Mobility Show" will be held at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Tickets can be pre-booked through the official website and can also be purchased at the exhibition hall site. Early bird discounts will be provided for advance reservations until April 2nd, and special rates will also be provided for group visitors.
