Hankook EVolution Technology

We are pleased to share information about Hankook EVolution Technology.

Hankook is considering the rapidly growing demand for High-performance EVs and the associated need for suitable tyres. Hankook EVolution Technology is a new concept to provide a customised performance for EVs by realising all the required performance without any trade-off. Please take a look at the various EV dedicated technologies implemented in Ventus iON.

Designed to reach the perfectly balanced performance required for electric vehicles,

Hankook EVolution technology virtually optimises all features by an AI prediction program in the development process by datafying Hankook’s technological know-hows.

Performance Trade-Offs & Overcome Trade-Offs

Technical elements

Handling (grip)

EV Contour Technology

Contour technology for EVs was applied to express handling performance while enduring the load of electric vehicles that are 20% to 30% heavier than conventional ICE vehicles.

Low Rolling Resistance

Curing Balance Optimisation

The application of the tread compound that improves wear and application of thin tread, and applying the 3rd generation LRR high hardness case compound, has improved LRR performance. HK’s Curring Balance Optimisation technology improved LRR performance by completely controlling the Curing process.

Noise

Hankook Sound Absorber™

The Hankook Sound Absorber™ is the pinnacle of all noise cancelling technology from Hankook.

Almost 40% of the noise of an Electric Vehicle comes from the tyre, which means choosing the right tyre is essential to gain absolute performance of an Electric Vehicle. With the Hankook Sound Absorber™ applied, the Ventus iON will take Electric Vehicle driving pleasure to the next level.

Knurling Technology (Patent Registration)

Knurling inside of the groove decrease the main-groove noise.

Cavity Noise Reduction Technology

By applying special material, the cavity noise is reduced.

Millage

EVolution Compound

EVolution compound, composed of high-concentration silica and eco-friendly new materials, provides optimum grip, mileage for high performance EV.
