We visited the Beijing Hyundai production plant this morning. A joint venture (50/50) company with Hyundai/Korea, Beijing Hyundai is the sole supplier of the Hyundai motor cars in the China market. As one might imagine, the Hyundai, specifically the Sonata model, is hugely popular in Beijing. The factory appeared new as it was clean, quiet and efficient. The temperature in the factory was on the cool side because there is no climate control in China's factories!
