However, both Hyundai and LG executives did not yet reach a decision in their potential business plans.

“Hyundai Motor Group has collaborated with LG Chem in various projects. At this moment, there has yet to be any concrete discussions regarding a joint venture for car battery production in Indonesia,” said a Hyundai representative to Reuters.

Should the joint venture between the two South Korean giants take place, it will be the first attempt for Hyundai in car battery production.

“South Korean company LG Chemical has expressed its desire to build an integrated factory for car battery production in Indonesia. The factory would produce battery cells, module batteries as well as provide facilities for recycling batteries,” said Agus on November 21.
