Hyundai plans to invest in Ga.

RICHMOND HILL, Ga. — South Korean automaker Hyundai has announced a second large supplier for its new electric car plant on the Georgia coast.

Hyundai Mobis plans to invest nearly $1 billion in a new facility in Bryan County that could employ 1,500 workers, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said. The plant in Richmond Hill will make powertrains for Hyundai’s electric vehicles manufactured at its new plant scheduled to open in 2025, as well as components for a Kia plant in West Point and another Hyundai plant in Montgomery, Alabama, officials said.

Earlier this month, Kemp said Joon Georgia would invest $317 million and hire 630 workers for a Hyundai parts plant in Statesboro.
