General Motors and Hyundai Motor Co said on Thursday they have agreed to explore future collaboration across key strategic areas including potential joint vehicle development, supply chain issues and clean-energy technologies. The U.S. and Korean automakers said they had signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to consider ways to "leverage their complementary scale and strengths to reduce costs and bring a wider range of vehicles and technologies to customers faster." Automakers face tens of billions of dollars in capital costs to build new electric vehicles and batteries, secure supply chains and develop advanced technologies like self-driving vehicles as they face stringent vehicle emissions regulations and heavy competition around the globe.
