The profit of the Nošovice carmaker Hyundai fell last year

The decrease in the economic result was caused mainly by the coronavirus pandemic. Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC) stated this in an annual report published in the Collection of Documents.

HMMC President Cheolseung Baek said the pandemic had fundamentally affected demand for the company’s products.

“In the first half of the year, car showrooms closed in all our main markets and, like other car manufacturers, we were forced to reduce production in the spring months. Instead of the planned 303,500 cars, we produced 21 percent less in 2020, ie 238,750 vehicles, ”said the President.

The factory in Nošovice is the only Hyundai production plant in the European Union. It produces up to 1400 cars a day.

It produces Tucson models, i30 in several variants, sports i30 N and Kona Electric. The plant has approximately 3,200 employees, and another 8,700 people work for its direct suppliers.
