Histori
Chung Ju-Yung founded Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company in 1947. The company's first model, Cortina, was released in collaboration with Ford Motor Company in 1968. When Hyundai wanted to develop their own car. , they hired George Turnbull in February 1974, former Executive Director of Austin Morris in British Leyland. He in turn hired five other British car engineers. They are the design of Kenneth Barnett's body, engineer John Simpson and Edward Chapman, former John Crosthwaite BRM as chassis engineer and Peter Slater as chief development engineer. In 1975, Pony, the first South Korean car, was released, with styling by Giorgio Giugiaro of ItalDesign and powertrain technology provided by Mitsubishi Motors Japan. Exports began the following year to Ecuador and soon thereafter to the Benelux countries.
In 1984, Hyundai exported Pony to Canada, but not to the United States, because Pony did not pass emissions standards there. Canadian sales are exceeding expectations, and that is at one point the best-selling car in the Canadian market. In 1985, a one million Hyundai car was built.
In 1986, Hyundai began selling cars in the United States, and Excel was nominated as "Best # 10" by Fortune magazine, largely because of its affordable price. The company began producing models with its own technology in 1988, starting with the middle Sonata. In the spring of 1990, Hyundai's automobile aggregate production reached four million. In 1991, the company successfully developed its first gasoline engine, four Alpha cylinders, as well as its own transmission, thus paving the way for technological independence.
In 1996, Hyundai Motor India Limited was established with a production plant in Irungattukottai near Chennai, India.
In 1998, Hyundai began improving its image in an effort to establish itself as a world-class brand. Chung Ju Yung transferred Hyundai Motor's leadership to his son, Chung Mong Koo, in 1999. Hyundai's parent company, Hyundai Motor Group, invests heavily in the quality, design, manufacture and research of its long-term vehicles. He added a 10-year or 100,000-mile (160,000 km) warranty for cars sold in the United States and launched an aggressive marketing campaign.
In 2004, Hyundai was ranked second in "initial quality" in a survey/study by J.D. Power and Associates. Hyundai is now one of the 100 most valuable brands in the world. Since 2002, Hyundai has also become one of the world's official sponsors for the FIFA World Cup.
In 2006, the South Korean government initiated an investigation into Chung Mong Koo's practices as head of Hyundai, suspecting him of corruption. On April 28, 2006, Chung was arrested, and charged with embezzlement of South Korea's 100 billion won (US $ 106 million). As a result, Hyundai Vice Chairman and CEO, Kim Dong-jin, succeeded him as head of the company. On September 30, 2011, Yang Seung Suk announced his resignation as CEO of Hyundai Motor Co.

Live Brilliant
The Brilliant Live global brand campaign begins in 2012. The campaign will be an extension of Hyundai's "Modern Premium" way of thinking as part of their brand new direction. The goal is to strive to realize the company's aspirations to make every moment customers spend with Hyundai as a moment of happiness, filled with brilliant memories.
In 2008, Hyundai Motors established a committee to oversee the Corporate Social Responsibility program. Among the program's initiatives is the "Global Joy Volunteer Program".
The Hyundai Motors India Foundation (HMIF) has invested more than 20 million rupees in various corporate social responsibility programs in India. In 2011, they started the village adoption project "Go Green" in Tamil Nadu. The goal is to promote environmentally friendly products, increase forest cover in Tamil Nadu, and improve living and hygiene conditions in the villages of the region. A number of schools have been adopted for improvement with HMIF donating approximately 450 benches to public schools and drilling 10 drilling wells.

Controversy
The amount of fuel economy increases
After an investigation in 2012, the EPA found that 35% of all Hyundai and Kia vehicles in 2011-2013 have increased fuel economy figures; up to six miles per gallon. Currently, Hyundai and Kia have embarked on a replacement program for affected vehicle owners 2011-2013. In 2014 the company issued a $ 350 million fine by the US government, agreed to pay $ 395 million in 2013 to settle claims from vehicle owners, and agreed to pay $ 41.2 million to cover "investigative fees" from 33 state attorneys parts of the US.
Incorrectly engine and horsepower advertised
Some consumers complain that the engines shipped with Hyundai Veloster in Brazil are lower than advertised. The independent test confirms that it is not the same machine, and only sends 121 CV (119 HP) instead of 140 CVs advertised (138 HP), with cars getting a derogatory nickname like Slowster in the Brazilian market.
Marketing controversy
In April 2013, Hyundai Motors UK released an ad depicting a man who attempted suicide through carbon monoxide poisoning at ix35, but failed to do so because of non-toxic vehicle emissions. The ad, produced by Hyundai Innocean Worldwide internal agency, received widespread criticism for promoting suicide. Blogger Holly Brockwell posted an open letter to Innocean and Hyundai, reminding them that his father committed suicide in the same way. Hyundai has since removed the video and issued an official apology.
