Electromobility - Statement Klaus Krause

‘There are several reasons why EV tyres are a worthwhile investment, particularly when it comes to the battery range of electric vehicles. Electric cars are considerably heavier than cars with combustion engines and produce no engine noise. The tyres need to be designed for immediate high torque, as well as have a low rolling resistance. Our iON tyre line-up, which has been specially developed for electric vehicles, meets all these requirements.

The iON tyres have been aerodynamically optimised for low rolling resistance, and have a profile and sidewalls specifically designed to reduce air resistance and ensuring optimal low noise. Using Hankook's ‘i Sound Absorber technology’ and carefully designed tyre tread, we guarantee the perfect EV driving experience by achieving an optimal balance of low noise, low rolling resistance, and improved mileage.‘

Hankook Tire manufactures innovative, high-performance tyres for passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, RVs, trucks, buses and motorsports. With five R&D centres and eight production facilities worldwide, Hankook continuously invests in research and development to offer the highest level of quality and driving satisfaction. The company employs around 20,000 people globally and sells products in over 160 countries. Leading car manufacturers rely on Hankook tyres for original equipment. More than 45 percent of global sales are generated in Europe.

Hankook’s European headquarters are located in Neu-Isenburg, Germany. At its European Technical Centre in Hanover, Germany and its manufacturing site in Rácalmás, Hungary, Hankook develops and produces bespoke tyre solutions for the European market.
