    Hyundai and Shell Extend Partnership Through 2031 to Develop Future Mobility Solutions

    Hyundai Motor Company and Shell have extended their global strategic partnership through 2031, renewing a collaboration that dates back to 2005. The new five-year Global Business Cooperation Agreement will expand their work across future mobility, joint research and development, service marketing, and motorsports.

    Under the renewed agreement, Hyundai and Shell will continue joint aftersales and service marketing programs while increasing R&D work on next-generation mobility technologies. Hyundai says the two companies will focus on areas including improved engine oils as well as specialized fluids and coolants for electric vehicles.

    Motorsport Will Remain Part of the Partnership

    Shell is also expanding its involvement with Hyundai Motor Group’s high-performance programs. The company currently serves as a performance and innovation partner for Genesis Magma Racing in its 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship campaign, supplying specialized lubricants and coolants for the GMR-001 Hypercar.

    The partnership also extends to Hyundai N, where the two companies will co-develop lubricants for high-performance combustion engines and electric vehicles. Hyundai says the motorsport programs will also serve as a development environment for technologies that could eventually be applied to production vehicles.

    The renewed agreement builds on more than two decades of cooperation between Hyundai and Shell, with both companies now placing greater emphasis on EV fluids, thermal management, digital innovation, and high-performance mobility.

    UNITY Car Meet & Track Day Returns to Clark This July 19

    Second Skin Industries celebrates its 7th anniversary with one of the country’s biggest enthusiast gatherings.

    Philippine automotive enthusiasts are in for an exciting weekend as Second Skin Industries, together with One Way Autohaus and Classic Speed, gears up for the UNITY Car Meet & Track Day happening on July 19, 2026, at Clark International Speedway in Pampanga. The event also serves as the celebration of Second Skin Industries’ 7th anniversary, bringing together car culture, motorsport, and the aftermarket community under one roof.

    Running from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the event promises a full day of premium automotive displays, spirited track sessions, and an opportunity for enthusiasts to experience high-performance machines in a safe, controlled environment. According to the organizers, visitors can expect everything from modified JDM icons and European sports cars to classic restorations and exotic supercars filling the paddock.

    Unlike a traditional static car meet, UNITY also gives participating drivers the chance to stretch their cars’ legs around the Clark International Speedway, one of the country’s premier racing circuits. The venue has long been known as a favorite destination for track day enthusiasts and motorsport events, making it the perfect backdrop for a gathering centered around performance driving.

    Another highlight of this year’s event is the participation of the Land Transportation Office (LTO), which will deploy its mobile service bus at the venue. Attendees will be able to access selected government services such as driver’s license renewals, vehicle registration renewals, and other transactions without leaving the event grounds.

    Several automotive brands and industry partners are also backing the event, including BYD, Motul, Shell V-Power, Nissan, Mazda, GWM, Mitsubishi Motors, and Zeekr, among many others. Their presence is expected to add even more attractions throughout the day, alongside sponsor booths and lifestyle displays.

    Admission is priced at ₱200 per person, making it an accessible weekend destination for enthusiasts, photographers, and families looking to experience the local automotive scene.
