Amazon and Hyundai announced a broad strategic partnership to bring innovative new experiences to customers. This strategic collaboration includes Amazon launching online sales of Hyundai vehicles in the U.S. in 2024, Hyundai naming AWS as its preferred cloud provider to help facilitate digital transformation, and the Alexa built-in experience coming to Hyundai's next-generation vehicles.
"Hyundai is a very innovative company
that shares Amazon's passion for trying to make customers' lives better
and easier every day," said Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. "Our broad, strategic
partnership should do just that, from changing the ease with which
customers can buy vehicles online, to making it simple to use Alexa in
Hyundai vehicles for entertainment, shopping, smart home adjustments,
and calendar checks, to enabling Hyundai to transform their customer
experiences and business operations by moving to AWS. We look forward to
inventing together for many years."
"Partnering with one of the
world's most customer-centric organizations unlocks incredible
opportunities as we continue to expand our portfolio, grow our sales
network, transition to electrification and realize the future of smart
mobility," said President and CEO of Hyundai Jaehoon (Jay) Chang.
"Amazon is the ideal partner to help realize our vision of progress for
humanity, including improving how people and goods move more efficiently
and sustainably. Hyundai is the first automotive company available for
full end-to-end transactions in Amazon's U.S. store and this is another
example of how we continue to push for ways to elevate the customer
journey together with our outstanding retail partners."
