The Morning After: Hyundai may be giving up on the combustion engine

We are back to The Morning After. I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for 2021. I know I am.

We have gathered the latest tech news from the last few days and several end-of-year pieces on the biggest stories of the year. The new engines may be giving up.

The company just made and released its first electric car, but it's ready to move fast, and leave the engines of old behind. The research center's combustion engine design unit was shut down, according to Korea Economic Daily sources. Some workers will still be working on existing engines, but the rest will move to EV-related work.

Chung-kook Park, the new research chief, said in an email that the transition will help produce cars that "dominate the future market." Park is correct. In South Korea, car sales will be banned by the year 2030.
