Hyundai strongly believes in eVTOL (Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing) on which he has decided to bet already; for some time. These are electric short-haul aircraft that will be used to offer passenger transport services in the urban areas of large cities & agrave; where to move with traditional means & egrave; complex due to a viability; now congested. According to reports from Reuters, the automaker thinks it is even ahead of its original schedule so much that in 2025 it aims to have a service of & quot; flying taxis & quot; in America.

HYUNDAI ATICIPE ON THE TIMES
Jose Munoz , COO global and CEO of Hyundai North America, during an interview with Reuters wanted precisely underline the progress made that will allow us to arrive well before 2028 as per original plan. The Korean manufacturer is working on eVTOL capable of transporting 5-6 people from urban centers to specific destinations such as an airport, for example. For Munoz, these aircraft can be used not only as flying taxis but also for the transport of goods.
Hyundai also intends not only to build the eVTOLs but also to create services around the aircraft. The Korean manufacturer has been working in this area since 2019 when it created a dedicated division led by Jaiwon Shin , a former NASA engineer. The carmaker believes that this market has important opportunities; of growth in the future. Indeed, Morgan Stanley predicted that the mobility market urban aircraft could be worth up to $ 1 trillion by 2040.
SOME EXAMPLES
Also General Motors & egrave; engaged in this area although I believe it takes longer; time before flying taxi services can arrive. According to the American manufacturer, to overcome all technical and regulatory obstacles will be & agrave; it is necessary to wait until 2030 . At CES 2021, it is recalled, GM had unveiled a Cadillac-branded eVTOL. Regardless of the timing, it seems clear that the sector is showing itself more and more; dynamic with car manufacturers interested in joining it.
And Toyota and Stellantis are also engaged in this field thanks to some collaborations with realities; of the sector. Just recently & egrave; Maker was unveiled, an eVTOL from Archer Aviation with which FCA (now Stellantis), at the beginning of 2021, had entered into an agreement to accelerate the launch of flying taxis. However, & egrave; equally clear that there is Much remains to be done before these transport services can become a reality.
First, there are several technical problems to be solved. Currently, many of the announced aircraft are still just prototypes. In addition, specific regulations will have to be created for their use. Finally, & egrave; it is necessary to create dedicated infrastructures, a sort of mini-airports. An example, in this regard, can be found; see in the UK thanks to a project in which Hyundai has collaborated.
