Hyundai is a South Korean chaebol (sort of like a conglomerate). While it was ostensibly restructured into "independent" groups a while back, let's just say that, in practice, they're not really independent in the western sense.
In addition to building cars and trucks, Hyundai does the following:
* building construction (everything from homes to office and factories)
* civil engineering (bridges, dams, shipyards, etc.)
* trains of various kinds
* military vehicles, including tanks
* construction equipment (cranes, etc.)
* manufacturing equipment (furnaces, presses, etc)
* shipbuilding (both civilian and military)
* shipping
* offshore oil rigs
* powerplants and electrical grid equipment
* has a large retail department store chain
* insurance
* chemicals and plastics
* lighting
and, of course...
robots (currently just industrial and medical)
