Hyundai Glovis unveils Glovis Leader, the world's largest car carrier with 10,000-vehicle capacity

The pure car and truck carrier (PCTC), named Glovis Leader, measures 230 meters (754.5 feet) in length and 40 meters in width, with a gross tonnage of 102,590 tons. Its loading space is equivalent to about 28 football fields.

Hyundai Glovis said it is the first global car carrier operator to introduce a PCTC with a capacity exceeding 10,000 vehicles.

The Glovis Leader is equipped with a liquefied natural gas dual-fuel propulsion engine and an alternative maritime power system, enabling it to comply with global environmental regulations.

The company said it plans to expand its PCTC fleet to 128 vessels by 2030, aiming to increase annual vehicle shipments from the current 3.4 million units to 5 million. The future total will represent more than 20 percent of global vehicle shipping capacity.
