Mumbai, April 18, 2020: Hyundai Motor India (HMI), country's first Smart Mobility Solutions Provider and largest exporter since inception, has entered into a partnership with Air Liquide Medical Systems Pvt.

As a Socially Responsible and Caring Brand, Hyundai is committed to serving society in every way and will continue to support the Government in India’s war againstCOVID-19.”

We are confident that this collaboration with Hyundai Motor India will bring about a positive shift in this battle. We are one of the very few Global companies with a dedicated R&D to manufacture Ventilators in India. Air Liquide Medical Systems is employing all the resources available to manufacture innovative, easy-to use and high-performing ventilators and will hold the reins to deliver quality service across the country during this time of need, and to spearhead the Make in India initiative.”
