Hyundai Partners with UL for Safe Implementation of Secondly Life BESS

• The new cooperation sets the stage to assist increase the secure release of essential eco-friendly, zero-emission energy resources.
• Both will do safety testing as well as analysis procedure growth.

The South Korean international auto producer, Hyundai Motor Company has partnered with the global safety and security science leader, UL for the secure deployment as well as use of second-life battery energy storage systems (SLBESS).
