[The Chosun Ilbo, December 17 2007] LG to Help Develop Hyundai's Hybrid Car

LG is teaming up with Hyundai Motor to produce hybrid cars. LG Chemicals said Sunday that it will be the exclusive supplier of lithium polymer batteries for Hyundai's Avante hybrid car, which is scheduled for mass-production in 2009.

Eco-friendly hybrid cars are powered by both gasoline engines and electric motors. Toyota of Japan is currently the hybrid market's technology and sales leader.
