Development of eco-friendly products

HL Mando develops parts used in eco-friendly vehicles, reaching new heights for the era of eco-friendly vehicles.

Development direction for eco-friendly vehicle parts

As we switch from mechanical and hydraulic parts to electronic control parts, we replace the disappearing power sources such as the cylinder air pressure with the motor power for eco-friendly vehicles and dramatically improve the installation to significantly contribute to bringing eco-friendly vehicles to life. In addition, a wide range of R&D activities are carried out towards curtailing the fuel consumption of the existing products or reducing the emissions of hazardous substances.

Next Step

In addition to developing the parts for eco-friendly vehicles such as hydrogen vehicles and electric vehicles, HL Mando also reinforces its R&D to reduce the environmental pollution caused by the existing auto parts.

Going forward, the company will continue to expand its business area to encompass the infrastructure service field for eco-friendly technology and build the eco-friendly vehicle infrastructure. As a result, it will transform its business structure further oriented towards eco-friendly mobility as part of its plan to increase the sales proportion of xEV models to account for over 45% by 2025.

Eco-friendly vehicle products

  • Eco-friendly vehicle products

    The global automobile market is focused on eco-friendly energy vehicles and autonomous driving technology. HL Mando continues to expand its portfolio of eco-friendly auto parts, such as the fuel cell DC-DC converter (FDC) and bidirectional high-voltage DC-DC converter (BHDC) and develops products designed to bring forth eco-friendly vehicles to preemptively deal with the future automobile market.

    In particular, the integrated dynamic brake (IDB) is HL Mando's leading technology as a necessary part of eco-friendly and autonomous vehicles. IDB2, which offers an improved IDB performance, has made the package more compact, improved mountability with a prefabricated design, and enhanced smartness with integrated control technology.

  • The product to improve mileage

    Continuous efforts are being made around the world to reduce GHG emissions that directly affect global warming. HL Mando continues to develop the technology designed to improve the fuel efficiency not only for eco-friendly vehicles but also for vehicles with internal combustion engines every year.

    Low Drag Caliper, one of the products currently under development, is expected to reduce carbon dioxide by 0.75g per 1km.

  • Pollutant reduction products

    HL Mando will lead the establishment of an eco-friendly mobility market by developing a brake wear dust collection device to reduce fine dust emissions.

Autonomous Robot

Parkie, the world's first autonomous driving-based parking robot (AMR), is a remarkable innovation developed by leveraging HL Mando's
cutting-edge autonomous driving technology
and decades of vehicle manufacturing expertise.
By offering seamless parking convenience,
Parkie not only enhances the overall value
of buildings but also revolutionizes
the utilization of parking lots.

Parkie provides customized parking assistance tailored
to various situations, including lateral parking,
low-profile parking, vehicle loading, vehicle movement,
and diagonal driving. This improves parking space reduction
by 30% compared to conventional self-parking systems.

Technology Council and Seminar

HL Mando upgrades the internal common technologies and introduces new technologies to improve its technical standard, and runs a technology council to address product and technical development issues. The Council, made of technical divisions in Five different fields, consists of an internal R&D technical expert group and external technical advisors. In the technical expert group, leading technology experts from each internal R&D center gather to secure new technology development capabilities and address technical difficulties, while advisory members are composed of the most suitable experts, such as university professors in new technology-related fields, to provide advice on technology issues at quarterly new technology seminars.

The council periodically hosts quarterly seminars and internal seminars inviting experts and holds annual plans at the beginning of each year and a place to share the results at the end of the year to apprehend the global technology trends.
