HD Hyundai is widening a multi-year technology rollout with Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) to push Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform deeper across the industrial group, expanding beyond early deployments in refining, shipbuilding, and construction equipment.
The updated deal announced Tuesday extends access to more affiliates, including some first-time users, as HD Hyundai looks to link data and workflows across businesses such as electric systems, robotics, and marine services.
Management framed the partnership as an execution lever for digital transformation: tighter cross-subsidiary coordination, more automated decision support, and operational gains in areas like maintenance planning, supply chain alignment, and asset utilization.
Use Cases in Refining and Shipbuilding
The companies said that prior work at HD Hyundai Oilbank supported refinery operations, crude selection, predictive maintenance, and sensor data analysis.
In shipbuilding, Foundry and AIP are positioned as an orchestration layer for HD Hyundai’s “Future of Shipyard” effort, alongside digital-twin and 3D modeling initiatives.
Palantir and HD Hyundai plan to build a Center of Excellence for Foundry and AIP over the next few years to train employees and scale internal AI applications across the group.
Executive Commentary on Strategic Impact
“This expanded strategic partnership marks an important turning point in connecting data and workflows across HD Hyundai into a single, cohesive system, enabling faster and more sophisticated decision-making,” said Chung Kisun, chairman of HD Hyundai. He added, “Palantir is a partner with globally proven capabilities in AI-driven analytics, and this partnership will add strength in executing HD Hyundai’s digital transformation.”
“HD Hyundai is a pioneering force in global industry, and the significant expansion of our partnership marks an exciting new chapter,” said Dr. Alex Karp, Palantir’s co-founder and CEO.
