Hankook Tire Supplies New Tires for Skoda's First Pure Electric SUV

Achieving Powerful Driving Performance with Dual Kakaso

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook Tire) announced on the 21st that it will supply its ultra-high-performance electric vehicle tire, the Ventus S1 evo3 ev, as original equipment tires (OET) for Enyaq iV, the first pure electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) from the Czech representative automobile brand ?koda.

The Enyaq iV is an electric SUV based on Volkswagen Group’s dedicated pure electric vehicle platform, MEB, and has demonstrated its presence in the global electric vehicle market by ranking first in cumulative sales in the Netherlands in the first half of this year. Hankook Tire has expanded its electric vehicle portfolio by supplying the Ventus S1 evo3 ev to the Enyaq iV, just as it does for Volkswagen’s popular electric SUV model, the ID.4.

The Ventus S1 evo3 ev is an ultra-high-performance tire optimized for electric vehicles. It features a dual carcass (tire framework) made of high-performance fibers, delivering powerful driving performance while increasing load capacity and improving fuel efficiency, thereby providing enhanced electric vehicle driving performance.

Hankook Tire supplies three tire sizes for the Enyaq iV: 18-inch, 19-inch, and 20-inch, with the 20-inch tire being a SealGuard tire that self-seals punctures. Even if a puncture occurs due to external impact, the special viscous sealing agent called sealant applied inside immediately fills the crack, preventing internal air from escaping.

Meanwhile, before supplying the Ventus S1 evo3 ev for the Enyaq iV, Hankook Tire’s tire was selected as the original equipment tire for the first pure electric vehicle models of global automakers such as Porsche’s Taycan, Volkswagen’s ID.4, and Audi’s e-tron GT, proving its world-class technology and premium brand value.
