GÖDÖLLŐ/SEOUL, August 4, 2025 – Hyundai Motor Company is introducing its ‘Shucle’ demand-responsive transport (DRT) platform in the city of Gödöllő, Hungary, as part of the Economic Innovation Partnership Program (EIPP). This initiative marks the platform’s first international deployment and the initial step toward global expansion.
The pilot project, officially launched at a ceremony on July 31 in Gödöllő, includes a 12-week operational phase running from August 18 to October 31, 2025. The Shucle platform will integrate two DRT vehicles into the city’s public transportation network, which currently operates five buses across 12 routes. The new system aims to improve wait times and operational efficiency while enhancing transportation accessibility for residents by matching supply to passenger demand in real time.
Shucle is a mobility platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize vehicle operations based on real-time passenger demand. The system enables dynamic route adjustments and flexible ridesharing to ensure an accessible and reliable transport solution for urban communities and underserved areas. Also, by minimizing empty runs and maximizing vehicle utilization, Shucle helps lower gas emissions, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional transportation systems.
