Hyundai Commercial Vehicles
Introduction
The Hyundai Mighty HD65/HD72 series represents the safe, dependable, and perfect partner for your business. If you are looking for a rugged truck that fulfills every trucking expectation, meet the Hyundai Mighty series. With two gross vehicle weights, 6,500 kg and 7,200 kg, you have real cargo shifting flexibility. First-class crew comfort means extra driver satisfaction, while Hyundai quality and dependability ensure unbeatable operating cost efficiency with minimal capital depreciation.
Keeping You Up and Running
For the business truck, it is self-evident that regular preventative maintenance reduces the cost of service and increases operating revenue. For this reason, Hyundai trucks are designed for simpler and easier regular service and maintenance. Regular inspection items such as the coolant reservoir, the washer fluid tank, and the brake fluid reservoir, etc., are positioned and designed for easy inspection and replenishment.
More Perfect, More Secure on the Job
The Hyundai HD series trucks are developed for perfect safety, serving as the foundation for rugged structure and extraordinary ride and handling. Further, world-class safety features, including an ABS integrated EBD brake system, are equipped as standard.
ABS with EBD Braking System
The HD series offer extraordinary active safety and security via a 4-channel ABS integrated Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) system. When the system senses the wheels locking in adverse or slippery road conditions, it easily adjusts and controls the braking pressures to all wheels by hydraulic control, while increasing brake pressure in an emergency automatically.
The diagram illustrates braking scenarios. In the 'Without ABS' scenario, the vehicle path deviates significantly as wheels lock up, leading to a longer stopping distance. In the 'With ABS' scenario, the wheels are controlled, maintaining stability and reducing stopping distance, with the braking point shown earlier.
Designed to Maximise Capability and Convenience
The Hyundai Mighty HD series offers one of the safest and most ergonomic cabs available. It is not just comfortable; it works with the driver. For example, the curved instrument and switch panel layout means less reaching and more instinctive control. Minor controls, cab access, door, and grab handles are optimally positioned, and there is ample interior illumination and stowage space. When it comes to driver comfort and convenience, Hyundai is always at the forefront.
Comfortable, Spacious, and Ready for All Your Business Needs
Everyone knows people work better in the best conditions. The interior of the Mighty HD is built to increase driver and crew satisfaction, to relieve long-distance fatigue and stop-and-start stress. It was developed by driving professionals and proven over every kind of road imaginable. The foldable cable-operated gearshift is light and precise. Fresh, but durable trim materials, excellent NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) isolation, and super-clear instrumentation are all part of what makes every Hyundai Mighty HD a driver's first choice.

Air Control System
Dial controls make setting the optimum heating and ventilation levels effortlessly simple. A powerful fan and multiple outlets ensure all-round freshness is guaranteed. Air conditioning is also optionally available.

Engineered to Make Light Work of Heavy Duties
A heat-treated, web-strengthened, ultra-rigid Super Frame provides the chassis basis for the superior performance and safety of all Hyundai Mighty HD trucks. Optimal suspension resilience, fully loaded or empty, comes from the proven toughness of leaf springs with advanced shock absorber technology. Large-size brake linings and tandem brake boosters give consistently dependable and powerful braking. For greater loading capacity, the Mighty HD series offer increased axle capacities, reinforced suspension, and uprated clutch and brake performance. As for routine maintenance, all fluid levels can be easily checked, and the advanced integrated fuel filter requires service only at 50,000 km intervals.

Comfort and Flexibility Are Built In
The whole HD series feature high-back seats, built to support, comfort, and reduce driving fatigue. The design includes built-in headrests and both sliding and reclining adjustment. The upholstery materials are both attractive and durable.
Power and Reliability
The Hyundai D4DB diesel engine delivers powerful performance, combined with exceptional reliability and durability, which makes Hyundai trucks so appealing.

Committed to World Class Right First Time
The Hyundai Mighty HD series trucks pass through many tests to be the best truck in the world, applying state-of-the-art technology to maintain the highest standards in development and manufacturing. To achieve a world-class truck, Hyundai trucks are built after testing for durability, performance, safety, and N.V.H., and many other various tests.
N.V.H., Durability and Reliability Test in Various Conditions
Before launching a new truck, many tests are performed by Hyundai to produce a top-class truck. Durability and reliability tests for chassis and various parts are performed on a variety of road conditions, including off-road conditions.
Corrosive Test
A corrosive test is performed to ensure the vehicle's long life. A test chamber is used for evaluation.
Safety
All trucks are subject to strenuous safety tests, including brake tests.
High Speed Running Test
To secure a comfortable ride, handling, and manoeuvrability in any situation, Hyundai Mighty HD series trucks are tested on our high-speed track.
Water Proof Test
Hyundai Mighty HD trucks are subjected to rigorous water testing in a 3D test tunnel to ensure the protection of the driver, passenger, and cargo.
Images depict trucks undergoing various tests. One shows a truck on a track, likely for high-speed running or handling tests. Another shows a truck being sprayed with water, illustrating the water-proof testing process.
Aerodynamic and Efficient
The cab body skilfully harmonizes rounded elements with clean, futuristic lines to project a hard-working, agile personality. Space utilization efficiency has been maximized by specifying a box-type cab and rounding a number of key elements for a softer, more advanced look and optimum aerodynamics. In functional terms, cab aerodynamics have been carefully tuned in order to minimize wind resistance, with the resulting benefit of lowering fuel consumption and reducing wind noise for enhanced driving comfort. Softened styling elements include rounded cab corners, a clean roof line unbroken by rain gutters, and flush-fitting body panels, glazing, and exterior trim.

More Engine Compartment Space
Engine repair and maintenance is easier than ever thanks to the tilting mechanism of cab mounting and the roomy layout of the engine compartment. The wide width between frames enables easy and convenient maintenance of the engine and auxiliary systems (starter, alternator, power steering pump, oil, and filters).
The image shows the truck's cab tilted forward at approximately 45 degrees, revealing the engine compartment. This tilting mechanism allows for easier access to the engine and auxiliary systems for maintenance.
