Kumho Tire Signs MOU with VanKorea for 'Tire Total Solution' Sales
Years of Research and Development Yield Results for Commercialization of Smart Tire System
[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Kumho Tire announced on the 1st that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for mutual cooperation with VanKorea, a company specializing in large van vehicles, to commercialize smart tires and related services called ‘Tire Total Solution.’
Through this MOU, Kumho Tire will not only supply its new product ‘MajestyX Solus’ for Kia Carnival vehicles but also provide the ‘Tire Total Solution,’ which integrates a smart tire system that monitors tire conditions using tire sensing technology and LTE wireless communication technology to inform drivers. Attendees at the event included Masangmoon, Executive Director of Strategic Planning at Kumho Tire; Kiwoon Kim, Executive Director of Special Research at Kumho Tire; Mooyeol Jung, President of VanKorea; and Jeongjin Park, Vice President of VanKorea, along with other representatives from Kumho Tire and VanKorea.
The ‘MajestyX Solus’ supplied by Kumho Tire is a ‘resonance noise reduction tire’ with foam attached inside the tire, expected to provide the best driving environment for VanKorea’s premium van vehicle drivers. Additionally, the smart tire system provided by Kumho Tire measures tire air pressure, temperature, and status signals during driving through sensor modules installed inside the tire and wireless communication devices within the vehicle. It offers drivers optimal tire position rotation and replacement timing, air pressure refill alerts, and real-time status information, helping to prevent accidents in advance while improving fuel efficiency and reducing tire replacement costs.
Moreover, Kumho Tire plans to offer premium tire services and vehicle minor maintenance linked with Kumho Tire’s sales network to maximize customer convenience. The ‘Tire Total Solution’ will begin supply in September and is planned to expand to various vehicle types in the future.
