Hyundai Motor Co plans to leave Russia.
According to South Korean media, Hyundai Motor Co plans to leave Russia and sell its manufacturing plants to a Kazakh company. MBC, a South Korean television network, reported that negotiations to sell Hyundai's factories in Russia are nearing completion, adding that the automaker is awaiting final approval from the Russian government.

"It is true that there are ongoing discussions regarding the sale, but nothing has been decided," Hyundai Motor told the TV network. Last year, Hyundai Motor shut down its Russian operation. The automaker stated in March that it was considering "various options" for its Russian operation.

Hyundai Motor said in a statement to Reuters today that it was reviewing various scenarios for the future of its business in Russia, but that no decision had been made as of yet. Many factories in Russia have suspended production and furloughed workers due to shortages of high-tech equipment because of sanctions and an exodus of Western manufacturers since Moscow invaded Ukraine last year.

Hyundai Motor, together with affiliate Kia Corp is among the world’s top 10 biggest automakers by sales and builds about 200,000 vehicles per year in Russia, about 4 per cent of its global production capacity. Along with Renault, Hyundai and Kia were among top three selling brands in Russia before the war. Now as global players have pulled out, Chinese brands are replacing them in Russia’s war economy.
