Humax Group has made visible progress in its mobility infrastructure business through its subsidiary Humax Mobility. Its parking operating unit Hi Parking runs 290,000 parking spaces at more than 1,400 sites nationwide and recorded revenue of about 200 billion won last year, it said on Wednesday. It built a portfolio centred on key business districts in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Gangnam and Yeouido. It supports the group's cash flow. It applied a self-developed mobility hub platform and an AI-based parking operation system.

Humax Mobility is building a profit structure based on physical infrastructure such as parking, charging and fleet management. It plans to expand into customer touchpoint services based on this and strengthen synergies across businesses. Hi Parking, Humax EV and Kyle E3 Jasper form three infrastructure pillars, and platform services such as Turu Car, Turu Taxi and Turu Driver expand on top of them.

The company has strengthened operational automation and a data-based fare optimisation system. It expects this to become key infrastructure for the autonomous driving robotaxi industry and is building a data system in advance for it.

In addition, its electric vehicle charging subsidiary Humax EV operates more than 20,000 chargers, including slow and fast chargers. It continued revenue growth and achieved a profit this year on an earnings-before-depreciation-and-amortisation basis. Its charging infrastructure business is moving from an investment stage to an operating profit stage, a strategy to respond to market trends of rising residential charging demand alongside expanded EV adoption.

Fleet subsidiary Kyle E3 Jasper directly owns and supplies vehicles and also operates them. It supplies vehicles to companies and mobility operators and provides maintenance services based on a nationwide network of about 1,350 locations. Through its vehicle control solution Autoride, it manages vehicle location, status and driving data in real time. It integrates management of the entire life cycle from procurement to operation, maintenance and disposal.

Car-sharing platform operator People Car runs Turu Car. Turu Car operates an open structure that secures vehicles by cooperating with regional rental car operators nationwide, including Kyle E3 Jasper. It implemented an asset-light model that removes the burden of direct investment in vehicles. It plans this year to expand both demand and supply, including existing demand sources such as Kakao Mobility.

Taxi and chauffeur platforms are handled by Konatus. Konatus operates a franchise network of about 5,000 vehicles through its franchise taxi brand Turu Taxi. It is also expanding a corporate-centred dispatch network. In the chauffeur driving field, it runs Turu Driver. It recently acquired Callmaner, a software operator that brokers chauffeur calls, strengthening its B2B platform capabilities. Callmaner is one of South Korea's two largest operators as a supply platform for chauffeur drivers.

Humax CEO Chang Chang-soo (정창수) said, "Humax Mobility is generating stable results across parking, charging and fleet infrastructure, and has a structure in which customer touchpoint services naturally expand on top of it." He said, "Even in the era of autonomous driving, the key is the intelligentisation of the spaces where vehicles stay, and we are preparing for it in advance."
