9-Chamber Network Ready: Tackling the Surge in High-Voltage Auto-Electronics Testing
HCT, a leader in testing and certification, is aggressively expanding its footprint in the mobility sector with the launch of its “M-Solution Center.” This state-of-the-art facility is specifically designed to handle high-voltage electrical components for electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving systems.
The company announced the official opening of the M-Solution Center on May 26. Built to meet the surging global demand for automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, the new center brings HCT's total infrastructure to nine EMC chambers--including six specialized high-voltage units--and five shielded rooms. This represents the largest dedicated automotive EMC testing capacity in South Korea.
According to HCT, this expanded capacity creates a robust foundation to reliably support large-scale orders from major global automakers and Tier-1 suppliers. With the opening of the center, the company anticipates its automotive division's performance to significantly outpace last year's results.
The move comes at a critical time as the automotive industry shifts toward electrification, autonomous driving, and Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). As vehicles become increasingly digitized, the need for rigorous EMC verification of high-voltage components has become a non-negotiable standard for safety and performance.
Beyond expanding its EMC capabilities, HCT plans to leverage the M-Solution Center to strengthen its competitiveness in environmental reliability testing. By offering a “one-stop” solution where both EMC and reliability assessments are conducted under one roof, HCT aims to help clients considerably reduce development lead times and minimize certification risks.
“The M-Solution Center is a proactive investment to lead the rapid electrification and digitalization of the global auto industry,” said Bong-jae Huh, CEO of HCT. “By leveraging our deep expertise in high-voltage EMC testing, we will serve as a strategic partner, helping domestic automakers and component manufacturers secure a competitive edge on the global stage.”
As a specialist in testing, certification, and calibration, HCT provides comprehensive services across high-tech sectors including ICT, automotive, batteries, and aerospace. Since 2017, the company has served as a designated testing lab for South Korea's three major automakers and holds the prestigious qualification as an official EMC testing laboratory for Stellantis, one of the world's leading automotive groups.
