Mobility infrastructure company Humax Mobility is moving to build operations infrastructure for robotaxi fleets. It said on Sept. 3 it launched a joint business consortium with subsidiaries Hi Parking, Humax EV and Peoplecar, and affiliates Kyle E-Sam Jasper and Conatus, and signed an agreement among the six companies. The consortium will pursue five tasks including parking and standby hubs, charging and vehicle management linkups, operational trials and cooperation models with taxi operators.

Humax Mobility returned to an operating profit in the first half after improving profitability in its parking and electric-vehicle charging infrastructure businesses. First-half revenue totalled 130.6 billion won and operating profit was 1.85 billion won, improving by 10.7 billion won from a year-earlier operating loss of 8.9 billion won. Second-quarter consolidated revenue was 67.2 billion won. The company recorded two consecutive profitable quarters.
