Hyundai Group is a South Korean conglomerate founded in 1947 as a construction company. Hyundai, which means "modernity" in Korean, has been one of the largest and most famous brands in South Korea and around the world for decades. Today, it spans across multiple industries including finance, automotive, construction, hotels, and more.

At the CES 2024, Hyundai's subsidiary, HD Hyundai and Develon, met the attendees with a visionary and futuristic technological concept along with its big machines - Xite Transformation.



Develon, previously named Doosan, was founded in 1937 as an equipment manufacturer under the Daewoo brand. In 2021, HD Hyundai purchased Doosan then rebranded it to Develon (de-VEL-on) in 2023. Develon is an inspired name between "develop" and "onward" and it will focus on a bold new future where innovation thrives.



HD Hyundai didn't come to CES with just an announcement though - it brought magnificent machines with a hands-on demo on their potentially revolutionary capabilities.



At its booth at CES 2024, HD Hyundai announced Xite Transformation, a visionary technological advancement that will revolutionize safety, productivity, and sustainability in the construction industry.

One of the main features of the Xite Transformation is remote controlled machinery. Armed with artificial intelligence and advanced user interfaces, a trained operator will be able to maneuver construction vehicles from distance.



With highly advanced user interfaces, Xite Transformation technology will increase productivity by assisting operation. Furthermore, tasks with distinct patterns will have an option to be automated, so that available operators can focus on other tasks that require expert control.



Using various sensors and artificial intelligence, Xite Transformation technology will greatly reduce accidents by detecting and preventing patterns of hazard.



Fully autonomous vehicles are truly the future of mobility - from driverless cars to independent crawlers, they will greatly improve global productivity and safety.
