MEXICO - Hyundai Motor de México joins IPN in a strategic alliance to boost the automotive industry. The collaboration includes the donation of resources and educational programs for the development of talent and cutting-edge technology.

This program will cover the operation of the latest automotive systems, thus strengthening the theoretical knowledge necessary to meet the current challenges of the industry.

The agreement also contemplates the donation of specialized equipment to IPN Higher Education schools related to Automotive Engineering, as well as to some Centers for Scientific and Technological Studies (Cecyt) that teach subjects related to this area.
