Hyundai Motor offers personalized mobility lifestyle for Japanese motorists
By Kim Hyun-bin, The
Korea Times - Hyundai Motor signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with
lifestyle content company Culture Convenience Club (CCC) in Tokyo, aiming to
facilitate collaborative exploration of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) lifestyle
services and more effectively target motorists in the world's third-largest
economy, the company said Thursday.
CCC, known for its
philosophy of being a "bookstore that sells lifestyle," operates
content businesses using online and offline platforms, including Tsutaya
stores.
The partnership
intends to present new lifestyles and customer experiences suitable for the
sustainable mobility era, in line with current demands for economic, social and
community sustainability.
Starting Friday,
Hyundai Motor will launch its MOCEAN vehicle-sharing service in Tokyo at
T-SITE, operated by CCC. T-SITE is a lifestyle-oriented commercial facility
centered on the Tsutaya bookstore.
Customers visiting
T-SITE will have access to Hyundai Motor's charging facilities and IONIQ 5
sharing service. Hyundai Motor plans to expand the MOCEAN service by utilizing
CCC-operated spaces in the future.
Furthermore,
independent of this agreement, Hyundai has been providing the MOCEAN service in
regions such as Yokohama and Okinawa starting this year.
Additionally,
Hyundai and CCC will collaborate on database marketing to propose a new
lifestyle in line with the ZEV era. They will utilize vehicle data held by
Hyundai, and customer data from CCC, to conduct personalized marketing and
further drive new business initiatives based on data related to the ZEV
lifestyle.
Hyundai plans to
establish an EV Experience Platform in collaboration with CCC to provide
customers with a more enriching EV experience. The goal is to create an
experiential platform that can be utilized in global markets beyond Japan,
combining Hyundai's mobility capabilities with CCC's content.
"We expect to
create new possibilities through collaboration between mobility and content
companies. By thoroughly analyzing customer preferences and planning new
lifestyles together with CCC, Hyundai will spread the ZEV culture we pursue and
build a differentiated brand image for Hyundai," Hyundai Motor CEO Chang
Jae-hoon said.
