The '''KG Mobility Corporation''' ({{langx|ko|케이지모빌리티 주식회사}}, {{Literal translation|KG Mobility Stock Company}}), abbreviated as '''KGM''', is a South Korean [[automobile]] manufacturer. It traces its origins back to Dong-A Motor, a manufacturer established in 1954. The company was named '''SsangYong Motor Company''' in 1988, following its acquisition in 1986 by the [[SsangYong Group]], a [[chaebol]]. Since then, SsangYong Motor has been acquired successively by [[Daewoo Motors]], Chinese manufacturer [[SAIC Motor]], and Indian manufacturer [[Mahindra & Mahindra]]. In 2022, the company was acquired by South Korean [[chaebol]] [[KG Group]] and adopted its present name in March 2023.

The company's main focus is [[sport utility vehicle]]s (SUVs) and [[crossover SUV]]s, and it is transitioning its focus to [[electric car]]s. The [[KGM Commercial]] manufactures commercial vehicles, including [[electric bus]]es.

==History==
===Dong-A Motor (1954–1987)===
SsangYong originally started out as two separate companies; Ha Dong-hwan Motor Workshop (established in 1954) and Dongbang Motor Co (established in 1962). In mid-1963, the two companies merged into Ha Dong-hwan Motor Co.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.smotor.com/en/overview/history_3.jsp |title= Ssangyong Motors|website=smotor.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414092714/http://www.smotor.com/en/overview/history_3.jsp |archive-date=14 April 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Dastidar |first=Surajit Ghosh |year=2011 |title=Mahindra and Mahindra's Acquisition of SsangYong Motor Company |journal=Vidwat Journal |volume=4 |issue=2 |pages=31–38 |publisher=[[EBSCO Publishing]] |issn=0975-055X |url=http://www.dhruvacollege.net/images/stories/vidwat/vidwat%20journal%20vol%204%20iss%202.pdf |access-date=2013-08-22 }} {{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> ({{korean|hangul=하동환자동차공업주식회사}}). In 1964, Hadonghwan Motor Company started building [[Willys MB|jeeps]] for the [[United States Army|US Army]] as well as [[truck]]s and [[buses]]. Beginning in 1976, Hadonghwan produced a variety of special purpose vehicles. After changing its name to Dong-A Motor ({{korean|hangul=동아자동차공업주식회사}}) in 1977 and taking control of Keohwa in 1984, it was taken over by [[SsangYong Group|SsangYong Business Group]] in 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ssangyong.by/ru/ssangyong.html#1984-1993|title=SsangYong Motor|website=ssangyong.by|access-date=19 September 2018|archive-date=28 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928205158/http://www.ssangyong.by/ru/ssangyong.html#1984-1993|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.avelinoabreu.com/index.php/ssangyong|title=SsangYong – República Dominicana – Avelino Abreu SAS|access-date=19 September 2018}}</ref>

After Dong-A Motor was taken over by SsangYong Business Group, Dong-A Motor's name was changed to SsangYong Motor in 1988.<ref name="smotor.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.smotor.com/en/overview/history_2.jsp |title= Ssangyong Motors|website=smotor.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081229140312/http://www.smotor.com/en/overview/history_2.jsp |archive-date=29 December 2008}}</ref> In 1987, it acquired United Kingdom-based specialty car maker [[Panther Westwinds]].<ref name="smotor.com"/>

[[File:SsangYong Musso Heck.JPG|thumb|The [[SsangYong Musso|Musso]] was a result of collaboration between SsangYong and [[Daimler-Benz]]]]
In 1991, SsangYong started a technology partnership with [[Daimler-Benz]]. The deal was for SsangYong to develop a [[sport utility vehicle]] (SUV) with [[Mercedes-Benz]] technology. This was supposedly to allow SsangYong to gain footholds in new markets without having to build their own infrastructure (utilizing existing Mercedes-Benz networks) while giving Mercedes a competitor in the then-booming SUV market.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8548&vf=1|title=Musso-Mercedes match was a rocky road|publisher=[[Drive.com.au]]|date=2000-05-18|access-date=2009-09-19|archive-date=31 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331131131/https://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8548&vf=1|url-status=dead}}</ref> This resulted in the [[SsangYong Musso|Musso]], which was sold first by Mercedes-Benz and later by SsangYong.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8548&vf=1 |title=Musso-Mercedes match was a rocky road |author=David Morley |publisher=[[Fairfax Media]] |date=2000-05-18 |access-date=2011-03-21 |archive-date=31 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331131131/https://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8548&vf=1 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

SsangYong further benefited from this alliance, long after [[Daimler-Benz]] stopped selling the Musso, producing a badge engineered version of the [[Mercedes-Benz MB100]], the [[SsangYong Istana|Istana]] and using Daimler designs in many other models, including the second-generation [[SsangYong Korando#Second generation|Korando]] (engine and transmission), the [[SsangYong Rexton|Rexton]] (transmission),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8117&vf=1 |title=Old-fashioned values |author=Jonathan Hawley |publisher=[[Fairfax Media]] |date=2004-07-04 |access-date=2011-03-21 |archive-date=31 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331131142/https://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8117&vf=1 |url-status=dead }}</ref> the [[SsangYong Chairman#Chairman H (1997–2011)|Chairman H]] (chassis and transmission)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=9590&vf=1 |title=SsangYong Chairman CM600S |author=Bruce Newton |publisher=[[Fairfax Media]] |date=2005-05-10 |access-date=2011-03-21 |archive-date=31 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331131140/https://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=9590&vf=1 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and the [[SsangYong Kyron|Kyron]] (transmission).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=12193&vf=1 |title=SsangYong Kyron |author=Bruce Newton |publisher=[[Fairfax Media]] |date=2006-05-31 |access-date=2011-03-21 |archive-date=24 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150224170131/http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=12193&vf=1 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==== Takeover by Daewoo Motors and SAIC ====
In 1997, [[Daewoo Motors]], now [[GM Korea]], bought a controlling stake from the SsangYong Group, only to sell it off again in 2000, because the [[chaebol|conglomerate]] ran into deep financial troubles. In late 2004, the Chinese automobile manufacturer [[Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation|SAIC]] took a 51% stake of SsangYong Motor Company. In July – August 2006, workers went on strike for 7 weeks to protest SAIC's plans to lay off 554 employees.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|date=2006-08-31|title=Ssangyong Motor ends seven-week strike|work=Financial Times|location=London|url=https://www.ft.com/content/6c63def2-38c1-11db-a21d-0000779e2340 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/6c63def2-38c1-11db-a21d-0000779e2340 |archive-date=10 December 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=2021-10-16}}</ref> The strike cost SsangYong 380 billion Won and negotiations ended with workers accepting a wage freeze.<ref name=":0" />

==== Failed takeover by Edison Motors ====
In October 2021, it was reported that SsangYong was set to be acquired by electric bus and truck maker [[Edison Motors (South Korea)|Edison Motors]] (not to be confused with [[Edison Motors]] of Canada) which would lead to SsangYong exiting receivership. Edison Motors planned to introduce SsangYong vehicles into the United States, Mexico, and Canada markets by the mid-2020s. Edison Motors also intended to phase-out production and new car sales of fossil fuel-powered SsangYong vehicles by 2030, in favor of producing and selling only electric-powered vehicles by the latter, if acquired.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2021/10/ssangyong-set-to-be-acquired-by-edison-motors/ |title=SsangYong Set To Be Acquired By Edison Motors |publisher=Carscoops |date=2021-10-20 |accessdate=2022-04-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://autobala.com/ssangyong-sold-to-korean-ev-startup-edison-motors/218774/ |title=SsangYong sold to Korean EV startup Edison Motors – Autobala |access-date=2021-10-21 |archive-date=2021-10-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211021141559/https://autobala.com/ssangyong-sold-to-korean-ev-startup-edison-motors/218774/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1133930_ssangyong-to-be-sold-to-korean-ev-startup-edison-motors| title = SsangYong to be sold to Korean EV startup Edison Motors| date = 10 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://koreabizwire.com/edison-motors-aims-to-turn-around-ssangyong-in-3-5-years/202445 |title=Edison Motors Aims to Turn Around SsangYong in 3–5 Years &#124; Be Korea-savvy |publisher=Koreabizwire.com |date= 22 October 2021|accessdate=2022-04-11}}</ref> In January 2022, the South Korean courts "approved" Edison Motors' acquisition plan, although the company would be kept in receivership until the transaction were completed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://koreabizwire.com/court-oks-edisons-acquisition-of-ssangyong/208738|title=Court OKs Edison's acquisition of SsangYong|work=Korea Bizwire|access-date=2022-01-12|date=2022-01-10}}</ref> In March 2022, SsangYong said the Edison Motors takeover was cancelled as the latter failed making acquisition payments for that month.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.theinvestor.co.kr/view.php?ud=20220329000162|title=SsangYong Motor back on sale as Edison's acquisition fails|work=The Investor|access-date=2022-03-30|date=2022-03-29}}</ref>

====Takeover by the KG Group====
In June 2022, the Seoul Bankruptcy Court opted for a consortium (KG Mobility) led by the [[KG Group]] as the final bidder to take over SsangYong Motor. The consortium planned to pay 900 billion won ($699.5 million) for SsangYong.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/south-korean-court-picks-kg-group-consortium-as-final-bidder-for-sssangyong-motor-271656404296|title=South Korean Court Picks KG Group Consortium as Final Bidder for SssangYong Motor|website=marketwatch.com|date=2022-06-28}}</ref> In August 2022, South Korea's Free Trade Commission approved KG Group acquisition of a 61% majority stake in SsangYong through the consortium.<ref name=KGtake>{{cite web|url=https://biz.newdaily.co.kr/site/data/html/2022/09/01/2022090100106.html|title=쌍용차 품은 곽재선 회장, KG색깔 어떻게 입힐까|trans-title= Kwak Jae-sun takes on SsangYong Motor chairmanship as well as KG's|work=Newdaily|access-date=2022-09-02|date=2022-09-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.just-auto.com/news/regulator-approves-ssangyong-takeover-by-kg-group/|title=Regulator approves SsangYong takeover by KG Group|work=Just Auto|access-date=2022-09-02|date=2022-08-24}}</ref> The acquisition payments were completed later that month.

In December 2022, SsangYong's chairman Kwak Jae-sun said it planned to remove the "SsangYong" name entirely in March 2023 by modifying the [[articles of association]]. The company was set to be renamed as "KG Mobility", adopting a new branding and using KG as its marque, to avoid the negative perception of the present name,<ref>{{cite web |last=Kang |first=Ju-hyeon |date=2023-03-22 |title='쌍용자동차' 사명, 역사 속으로…KG모빌리티 "미래 모빌리티 기업으로 새 출발" |trans-title="Ssangyong Motor Company" mission, into history...KG Mobility "New Start as a Future Mobility Company" |url=https://www.dnews.co.kr/uhtml/view.jsp?idxno=202303221205048370672 |access-date=2023-03-22 |work=DNEWS}}</ref> bypassing its "painful image".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/629323/ssangyong-changes-name-kg/|title=SsangYong to change Name To KG Mobility because of 'painful image' |date=2023-01-04 |website=Motor1.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2023/01/ssangyong-motor-to-be-renamed-to-kg-mobility/|title=SsangYong Motor To Be Renamed To KG Mobility|date=4 January 2023|website=Carscoops}}</ref>

=== KG Mobility (2023–present)===
The company adopted the name KG Mobility in March 2023.<ref>{{Cite web  |date=2023-03-22 |title=SsangYong Motor reborn as KG Mobility after takeover |url=https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20230322004700320 |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=[[Yonhap News Agency]]}}</ref> As the company was renamed, its financial affiliate, SY Auto Capital, was also renamed as KG Capital. In May 2023, KG Group's KG Inicis acquired the 49% KG Capital stake hold by KB Capital and 6% of KG Mobility's share, leaving the latter with a 45% and KG Inicis with a 55%.<ref name=KGCapital/>

The company is developing plans to use technology to gain competitivity on various market segments (especially electric) and enter less developed overseas markets with potential growth (such as Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, or the Middle East) to expand its sales base. In 2022, the company signed a [[knock-down kit]] (KD) assembly contract with the Saudi National Automotive Manufacturing Company. In January 2023, it signed another KD contract with NGT, a company from the United Arab Emirates. In March 2023, a third with Vietnamese Kim Long Motors.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bizwatch.co.kr/article/industry/2023/04/27/0005 |title=KG모빌리티, 새 키워드는 '첨단기술'과 '틈새전략' |trans-title=KG Mobility's new keywords are 'advanced technology' and 'niche strategy'|language=Korean |last=Jung |first=Jae-woong |work=Bizwatch |date=2023-04-27 |access-date=2023-06-30}}</ref>

In March 2023, KG Mobility launched a bid to acquire receivership-bound Edison Motors. In May, it was selected as the preferred bidder.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://economist.co.kr/article/view/ecn202306290047 |title=KG표 전기버스 나오나...에디슨모터스 인수 잠정 확정 |trans-title=Will it be KG electric buses?

It is thought that the first KGM car in Europe will be a facelifted version of the SsangYong Tivoli, with their range of SUVs being rebranded soon after.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ssangyong/86013/kgm-new-name-ssangyong | title=KGM is the new name for SsangYong }}</ref><ref>''Auto Mundial'' Episode 27 on ITV4 from 5 July 2023</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.itv.com/watch/auto-mundial/7a0070/7a0070a0182|title=Auto Mundial - Series other-episodes - Episode 27 - ITVX|date=5 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230705183350/https://www.itv.com/watch/auto-mundial/7a0070/7a0070a0182 |archive-date=5 July 2023 }}</ref>

In April 2023, KG Mobility launched KG S&C, a vehicle parts and conversion division.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://m.ajudaily.com/view/20230418142642132 |title=S.

In November 2023, it was announced that the [[Korean Intellectual Property Office]] (KIPO) had rejected the application to register the brand name because it had already been registered in around 30 countries by Cihan Turan. This company is known as a [[trademark troll]]. This refers to the registration of brand names without the intention of actually using them, but only in order to exploit the rights and collect the corresponding payments. KG Mobility appealed against this decision and said it would continue to use the KGM name in overseas markets until further notice.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.kedglobal.com/automobiles/newsView/ked202311240017 |title=KG Mobility may lose its name to trademark troll  |work=[[The Korea Economic Daily]] |date=2023-11-26 |access-date=2023-12-09}}</ref>

In June 2024, however, ''[[The Korea Times]]'' reported that KG Mobility was facing difficulties in obtaining the trademark rights for the three-letter abbreviation "KGM".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-04 |title=[EXCLUSIVE] KG Mobility faces setback in securing right to use 'KGM' trademark |url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/2024/06/419_375951.html |access-date=2024-06-08 |website=[[The Korea Times]] |language=en}}</ref> The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office even refused the registration of KGM, because the Turkish government-run [[General Directorate of Highways (Turkey)|General Directorate of Highways]], which is written as "Karayolları Genel Müdürlüğü" in Turkish, had been already using the same acronym. The registration of KG Mobility had also been rejected in the country due to Cihan Turan. Even in Korea, the trademark for KGM is also under KIPO’s review, following an objection filed in 2023 by [[KTM]], an Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, which claims consumers are likely to be confused by the two similar acronyms.

In August 2024, KG Mobility said it has established a sales subsidiary in Germany to strengthen its operations in the European market.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20240816004500320?section=k-biz/corporate |title=KG Mobility sets up sales unit in Germany|date=2024|website=Yonhap News }}</ref>

In October 2024, KG Mobility announced that it has signed a strategic partnership co-operation agreement with China's [[Chery]] Automobile.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-10-21/business/industry/KG-Mobility-inks-partnership-with-Chinas-Chery-Automobile/2159730/|title=KG Mobility inks partnership with China's Chery Automobile |date=2024|website=Korea JoongAng }}</ref>
