Driving - Technology Innovation | Hankook Tire Global

Driving Overview Driving Intelligence Sustainability Home Innovation Technology for Innovation Driving Our advanced tire technology for a safer and more convenient ride extends further into innovating 'driving emotion' Kontrol Kontrol Technology represents our technological commitment towards a perfect driving experience. With our belief that the constant interplay among a vehicle, driver, and road surface can be controlled with unfailing precision, we will be the first to mount a challenge for innovative technology to offer a more pleasant driving experience. Major Performances of Kontrol Technology Performance Maximizes tire performance through the ultimate handling prowess and improving durability Safety Maintains a safe distance between the drivers even under adverse weather and road conditions Comfort Reduces stress while driving due to close understanding of the tire performance Efficiency Encourages reasonable consumption among consumers with improved fuel efficiency and longer lifespan Performance Vehicle Tire Technology i-Segment Technology iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY Future Mobility Technology Performance Vehicle Tire Technology Driver safety is our top priority. To offer the ultimate driving experience and fully explore the on/off-road performance, our research extends well beyond tires. Flagship Product Hankook's Tire's Ventus – ultimate performance. Ventus Product Proven Technology Ventus tires have been chosen as Original Equipment tires by global leading premium car manufacturers, gaining worldwide recognition for their technological prowess. i-Segment Technology In each and every moment, new mobility options and new concepts of moving around continue to be rolled out. To ensure a driver's safe and convenient arrival at his/her destination under any circumstances, we continue to pioneer a wide spectrum of innovative technologies for the innovative segment, among others, in line with the changing times. Since quieter and less-vibrating tires offer a more comfortable driving experience, our research drills deep into the details on the sound of tires. Our sound absorber technology brings into play the varying aspects of technologies, ranging from pattern construction and design to special materials, to reduce road noise in a tire and absorb the shock generated, offering a quieter and more comfortable ride. Pitch structure Pattern groove To offset the ordeal of unexpected flats, the Hankook Runflat System (HRS) has reinforced the sidewalls of its tires to ensure their peak performance. This means that the tire retains its shape even with drops in internal air pressure. In fact, with our runflat tire technology, a punctured tire is still able to travel a good 80 km or more at up to speeds of 80km/h. So long as a vehicle is fitted with our tires, one need not worry about nails, broken bottles or other sharp objects along the path. When a tire is punctured by external shock, the layer of special sealants in our Sealguard tires fills in the hole and effectively prevents air from escaping. Any object-induced punctures 5mm in diameter or smaller are instantly sealed to ensure hassle-free mobility even in the event of emergency. Step 1 Step 2 iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY EVs are central to the unfolding path towards future mobility. EV Tires Electric vehicles (EVs) weigh considerably more and measure a stronger power output than internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Therefore, without reinforced loading capacity, grip force, and dramatically reduced noise, EVs cannot drive in optimum conditions. Hankook Tire remains dedicated towards developing advanced technologies to produce the best-in-class EV tires. iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY Hankook Tire & Technology's entire lineup of electric vehicle-exclusive products is built on the concept of iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, delivering four key performance features: low noise, high mileage, optimal grip (handling), and low rolling resistance. This technology perfectly caters to the characteristics of electric vehicles, providing the ultimate driving performance. iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY incorporates 58 iON commercialization patents into its products and holds the largest number of electric vehicle-specific patents in the industry. The term "INNOVATIVE" symbolizes the innovation of Hankook Tire & Technology, starting from the world's first electric vehicle-exclusive brand, iON. The letters 'NN' and 'VA' in the design represent the direction of advancement and leap forward. iON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY aims to bring joy of driving to consumers. EV exclusive tire iON We're introducing the world's first full lineup of EV-exclusive tires, driven by continuous technological innovation for electric vehicles. Evolutionised to perform more EVolutionized to perform and last Evolutionised to perform more in winter Partnerships The world's eyes are fixed on the tire performance that goes far beyond imaginable limits. Hankook Tire has been named the official tire supplier for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the most precious EV race, and has also partnered with many global leaders in the EV industry for joint R&D. Motorsports Future Mobility Technology Adding fun and appeal in imagining what's possible beyond tires, we transform future mobility into reality. Mobility Trend Airless tires which offer a safe ride, easy maintenance, and sustainable technology all began with our creative imagination for future mobility. The airless tire is an innovative non-pneumatic product that has no air pressure unlike a normal version and is free from a flat tire. The i-Flex is an airless tire that incorporates Hankook Tire's unique technology, and its special structural design technology completes solid yet flexible driving on the road. Benefit Learn more about the benefits of airless tires that are non-existent in ordinary tires. Safety Minimized tire puncture risk Airless tires use the structural concept that enables weight support without any air pressure and they are less likely to go flat. Increased traction force The multidirectional traction of airless tires delivers a progressive response to a wide variety of trajectories. Maintenance Improved ease of tire maintenance and management Airless tires require no maintenance due to the absence of air pressure and maintains even wear patterns to increase the driving range. Increased ease of the changing tires It is quick and easy to remove and mount a tire due to its structure.
