At the 15th edition of AutoFest 2026 — held from October 23 to 25 at the CCCT Terrace in Caracas — Hyundai Venezuela stood out for its focus on design, comfort and safety, innovations, and financing options; a focus on customer experience that received central attention.

Those attending this AutoFest had access to a financing simulator, an interactive tool that allowed them to calculate installments based on each customer’s credit plan.

Models on display and awards

At the end of the multi-day event, which showcased excellent organization, Hyundai took first place for Best Corporate Stand.

In addition to the Hyundai Creta, with its efficient and balanced performance, which generated a large number of inquiries, other models from the global and Korean manufacturer also stood out. Furthermore, the assigned and responsible staff met expectations.

– Hyundai Accent: It stood out for its understated elegance, modern style, comfort, and excellent reception from the attendees.

– Grand i10 Sedan: It was one of the most visited models during the weekend due to its compact size, attractive design, innovations, and ease of use. Its sibling model won the award for “Best Hatchback” at the event.

– High-end pre-launches: The brand took advantage of the event to showcase its top SUV models for the upcoming new year: the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Hyundai Palisade, which generated admiration and applause.

– Business opportunities and financing: They offered financing plans with down payments starting at 35 % and terms of up to 36 months, backed by a broad and diverse official distribution network (such as the Iksan Group dealerships), finalizing commitments and signings, and generating excitement and buyer satisfaction 

Closeness and great innovation

The AutoFest provided an opportunity for attendees to learn about the brand’s portfolio in Venezuela, as well as receive personalized advice and experience Hyundai’s latest innovations firsthand.

With more than 30 years of experience in Venezuela, the brand continues to strengthen its commitment to the country, offering products with high standards of quality, safety, and support.

A group of scientists from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore established a new system to cover the lenses of eyeglasses that will prevent the condensation of fog, which is capable of cleaning itself and has anti-reflective properties. The result is anti-reflective lenses that don’t fog up and clean themselves.

This new eyeglass treatment promises to end both problems simultaneously. According to Chen Zhong, one of the authors of the discovery, explained: “Our team has demonstrated a method that is quick to apply, within an hour, that produces long-lasting results, demonstrating its potential for a wide range of practical applications.”

Zhong stressed that there are different products on the market, in sprays or wipes, anti-fog, but their effectiveness “are temporary and have limited effectiveness” having to be applied constantly for them to have an effect.

The method combines various materials

The research allowed the development of a method that works on polycarbonate lenses. According to the procedure, the first step is to treat the plastic with oxygen plasma, a substance used to clean the surfaces, which improves adherence. Subsequently and by means of “a pulsed laser, they cover the lens with a thin film that has two layers: one of silicon dioxide and the other of titanium dioxide“, the concentrated laser makes it easier to vaporize the excess material and reaches a film of the desired thickness.

Likewise, the use of “titanium dioxide” allows the lenses to clean themselves because it has photocatalytic capacity and when exposed to ultraviolet sunlight, it reacts with organic residues, eliminating them.

Laboratory experiments showed that the new coating is well suited to breaking down bacteria and dirt on the lens surface after exposure to sunlight throughout the day. Additionally, the researchers highlighted that the “system makes the crystals anti-reflective”, facilitating greater clarity in vision.

Innovation in the market

The group of researchers are waiting to be granted the “patent for this method and are looking for collaborators to bring the innovation to the market.” Likewise, the scientists consider that their system “would also be very useful in industrial applications of different optical components, such as surveillance cameras.”

Sun Ye, lead author of the discovery, said: “The results obtained demonstrate the multifunctionality of our coating. It is anti-reflective, anti-fog and self-cleaning. He explained that the manufacturing method is fast, easy and durable” when compared to other “anti-fog methods that usually end up in coatings with limited functions.”
