As the electric vehicle (EV) revolution continues to gain momentum, Hankook is leading the charge in tyre innovation. The premium tyre manufacturer is set to showcase its groundbreaking iON tyre range at the London EV Show, Europe's premier event for the electric vehicle industry.
From the 28th to the 30th of November, attendees at ExCel London can witness the future of EV tyres at Stand number ES11.
Launched in 2022, the iON tyre range is Hankook's answer to the unique demands of electric vehicles. These tyres boast reduced rolling resistance, ultra-quiet performance, and exceptional resilience. For EV enthusiasts, this translates to extended battery range and an enhanced driving experience. Moreover, the iON tyres are engineered to handle the immediate high torque produced by powerful electric vehicles.
The accolades for Hankook's iON range are already rolling in. This year, the iON evo clinched the top spot in the esteemed Auto Bild “Reifencheck” tyre test, a testament to its superior performance and safety features.
But Hankook's commitment to innovation doesn't stop there. As the exclusive technical partner and tyre supplier for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship since Season 9, Hankook has unveiled the tailor-made iON race tyre. Developed in collaboration with the racing series, this tyre is a perfect blend of sustainability and performance. Remarkably, nearly 30% of this new tyre, tailored for the third generation of Formula E race cars, incorporates sustainable materials.
The racetrack is not just a venue for competition; it's a testing ground for innovation. Insights from the racing world are directly influencing Hankook's consumer tyre offerings. The iON product family, which currently offers summer and winter patterns, will soon introduce an all-season version by the end of 2023.
