In September 2018 Hankook held the ‘Design Insight Forum' at its global R&D centre Technodome in Daejeon, Korea, where topics including the future of mobility and the tyre industry were discussed.
The “Aeroflow” is a tyre for maximum downforce designed for use in motorsports. To achieve this, the wheel has been widened through a separable tread and the tyre grip has been optimised.
The "Aeroflow" tyres have been equipped with turbine impellers to pick up the air during driving and use this to generate additional downforce if necessary.
“Hexonic” is an intelligent tyre concept for autonomous shared mobility vehicles. The Hexonic supports the vehicle’s efforts to offer maximum driving comfort by scanning and analysing the road in real time using seven separate sensors.

The “Aeroflow” is a tyre for maximum downforce designed for use in motorsports. The focus of the design on downforce, which is not generally taken into consideration during tyre development, is what makes the draft so unique.
“Hexonic” is an intelligent tyre concept that records road conditions such as grip, temperature and state of the road surface and adapts the tyre treads accordingly.
“Hexonic” is an intelligent tyre concept for autonomous shared mobility vehicles. The designer considered completely autonomous, driverless vehicles as the standard for future cities and developed a tyre for jointly used cars.
The Hexonic supports the vehicle’s efforts to offer maximum driving comfort by scanning and analysing the road in real time using seven separate sensors.
Wheels and tyres with their own power source that attach and detach according to the weight of the vehicle. It is an autonomous bus concept (Driverless Public Transportation) that has an applied Self-Contained Drone concept.
Futuristic single user mobility which can freely move within complicated cities and access stairs and speed bumps through a principle of divided treads that expand and contract.

The two wheel with flexible suspension structure allows a minimized volume size during standby mode and maximized cornering performance. It is a single user mobility that can move freely through the city with high accessibility, similar to Flexup.
The “Ball Pin Tyre” is a unique future-oriented tyre capable of moving in a full 360-degree circle, meaning right angle turns and zigzag driving is possible.
To help the “Ball Pin Tyre” achieve the full potential of its futuristic technology, Hankook Tire has installed an advanced gyroscope and a three omni-wheel system to the vehicle.
A single user mobility board which uses magnetic field extension and rotation principle. By improving accessibility and portability, it can move freely on pavements and can be used indoors.
The divided treads, with the skating principle provides maximum cornering performance. They are tyre concepts for special vehicles such as police cars in mega cities that are becoming increasingly sophisticated and dense
