New Tyres from Hankook at CV Show

Hankook

 

Hankook Tyre UK once again exhibited at the Commercial Vehicle Show - the largest and most comprehensive road transport and commercial vehicle event in the UK.

Strong Presence from Hankook at CV Show

From 30th April to 2nd May 2019 at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre, the premium tyre maker presented a comprehensive range of its commercial vehicle tyres including its first bus tyre for electric buses.

The stand featured a wide range of tyres, including the SmartWork for on and off road and the SmartFlex range for regional haul which has been extended to offer a new trailer tyre. Both the SmartFlex and SmartWork are selected as Original Equipment for MAN, Mercedes-Benz and Scania trucks.

Brett Emerson, Managing Director for the UK said “Our share of the market has grown considerably in recent years, thanks to our reputation for producing outstanding tyres delivering superb mileage and reliability which is just what businesses need especially when the focus is on Total Cost of Ownership. Fleets looking to maximise value for money in every area of their business have returned time and time again to Hankook, which prides itself on providing reliable products for customers and linking this with excellent cost per mile figures.”

“As a result, we are viewed as the leader in the UK truck tyre replacement market, so the CV Show is an important date in the Hankook calendar. We are delighted to be once again demonstrating our continued investment in research and development to deliver value to our customers.”

To showcase the commitment of Hankook to be a driving force in future mobility, the Hankook stand also featured the concept tyres from the 2018 Hankook Tyre Design Innovation Programme 'Extend Future Life Beyond Mobility'. Designed by students from the Royal College of Art in London, the futuristic tyres present a vision of future mobility through tyres.
