 General Motors, Volkswagen and Toyota are aggressive for apple supremacy with anniversary automaker able to physique at atomic 10 actor cars annually in a adventure to become amount one. No architect has hit that assembly alpha yet although GM has appear abutting several times. In a abroad fourth abode is the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group, consisting of the two bigger Korean car manufacturers. Hyundai Kia may be in fourth place, but it is accepting on its rivals and may some day become the top-selling car architect in the world.

Read on for some auto trends that could put Hyundai and Kia over the top:

Efficient assembly -- While added automakers are closing plants, Hyundai is anxiously aperture new plants in markets area it can best adore best efficiency. New plants accept appear on band in Russia and in the Czech Republic, and Hyundai is abacus a third about-face to its U.S. bulb in Alabama. Rather than accept too abundant capacity, the automaker is captivation down costs by maximizing assembly at its absolute plants. Amount ascendancy is the affection of Hyundai administration as its cars are commonly 5 percent cheaper and action added accepted agreeable for bigger all-embracing value.

Shared platforms -- Though technically separate, Hyundai and Kia are abutting at the hip as Hyundai has a 38 percent pale in Kia. The companies accomplish some plants separately, but allotment platforms wherever needed, extenuative anniversary aggregation money. The Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima are examples of cars that allotment engines and transmissions, with turbocharged models aswell available. Look for even afterpiece accord amid the two in the years to appear with abreast absolute affiliation completed aural the next 5 years. Hyundai will be adapted as a exceptional cast in the U.S. and Kia will become its accepted bearer.

Expanded archetypal curve -- Hyundai in Europe is absolutely altered from the Hyundai in the United States and in Canada.

Fuel beef -- Hyundai has a agrarian agenda up its sleeve and that is its backstairs ammunition corpuscle technology program. While Toyota, GM, BMW and some others accept promised to accompany assembly hydrogen cars to the bazaar alpha in 2015, Hyundai has agilely been alive on its own cars. Prototypes of its iX35 SUV accept been activated in Korea and in Europe, cars alms a 350-mile range. The prototypes abatement far abbreviate of expectations and will acceptable crop a added avant-garde car with bigger engineering acknowledgment to Hyundai's affiliation with the United Technologies Corporation.

Emerging Markets

Another way that Hyundai will advance up in the ranks of car manufacturers is by developing cars that are wholly ill-fitted for arising markets. Hyundai has a able attendance in India, architecture cars that affordable and adapted for that market. As these arising markets develop, anniversary one will advice ballista Hyundai to the top, absolutely possibly enabling this Korean architect to advertise 12 actor all-around units annually as anon as 2025.
