The AJC reports Electric vehicles may not be the only cars coming off assembly lines at Hyundai Motor Group’s sprawling factory near Savannah. The Korean automaker recently asked state environmental regulators to amend permits to allow for gasoline storage and fuel filling equipment at the 3,000-acre factory site in Bryan County.
The records obtained by the AJC are the first known formal steps by Hyundai to potentially include hybrid vehicle manufacturing at the site along I-16. A company spokesperson told the AHC that the company is always evaluating various options to adapt to market and consumer demand with consumers not embracing EVs as quickly as some automakers expected.
