Hyundai Motor, Kia Motors and Hyundai Mobis are to inject a combined $1.6 billion in cash and $400 million worth of engineering services, research and development capabilities and intellectual property rights.Global auto parts company Aptiv is reportedly generating synergies that match Hyundai’s engineering and R&D capabilities.
