Hyundai will invest about half a billion dollars at its Alabama manufacturing facilities to build new engines, hybrid components, and an extended-range electric powertrain, per Automotive News today.

The Hyundai CEO said, “We are bringing Tucson hybrids to Alabama, and then we will bring the Santa Fe.”

The Tucson is Hyundai’s #1 seller in the US, and the hybrid version sold here is currently assembled in Korea. Every car built in Alabama will be exempt from a 15% tariff.

The move by Hyundai is a huge economic boost for Alabama.
