  • Hyundai signed separate MOUs with Singapore’s HTX and EDB on Oct. 31 at the APEC K‑Tech Showcase in Gyeongju, formalized in statements published Nov. 2–3.
  • The HTX agreement launches a technology demonstration through 2028 using Hyundai’s multipurpose modular electric platform to boost Home Team fleet efficiency.
