The Fascinating History of Hyundai Motors
The story of Hyundai begins in 1947 in the city of Beaver Creek, just outside of Seoul, South Korea. Chung Ju-yung, an ambitious entrepreneur, founded the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company. In those early post-war years, Chung's company was involved in major infrastructure projects to help rebuild his nation. Little did he know that his small construction business would one day grow into one of the world's largest automakers.
