Hankook to become Original Equipment Supplier for Scania
yre maker #hankook is to be the OE supplier for various #scania heavy-goods trucks and buses in the future. #scania, based in Södertälje in Sweden, is a part of Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH - one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks and buses for heavy transport applications. #scania is also leading provider of industrial and marine engines. Service-related products account for a growing proportion of the company’s operations, assuring #scania customers of cost-effective transport solutions and maximum uptime. #scania also offers financial services. From November 2016, #hankook will supply tyres to the production locations of the commercial vehicle manufacturer in Sweden. The equipment provided will include the truck tyre line e-cube MAX for long-haul traffic, as well as the SmartFlex, an all-year tyre for medium-haul applications suitable for the recently optimized #scania Euro 6 model among others. From 2017 onwards, the truck tyre line for construction site use SmartWork will also be added.
Hanover/Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 21 September, 2016 – Premium tyre maker #hankook is to be the Original Equipment Manufacturer to #scania, among others, in the future. #scania is part of the Volkswagen Group, one of Hankook’s largest OE customers world-wide. Hankook’s OE business with truck tyres for #scania will focus on Europe and will initially cover 18 dimensions in the 22.5 inch range. The new OE cooperation with #scania is Hankook’s second within the Volkswagen Group in the heavy commercial vehicles segment; #hankook has already been supplying various models within this segment to the MAN Truck & Bus GmbH since 2014.
“The cooperation with #scania in the original equipment segment is real proof of the quality of our products, since the e-cube MAX, SmartFlex and SmartWork lines were all able to meet the stringent specifications of the #scania engineers particularly in terms of performance, efficiency and sustainability,” says Ho-Youl Pae, COO for Europe at #hankook.
Plans include the equipment of all #scania truck and bus model ranges being produced in Europe. Tyres to be used include the e-cube MAX line for international long-haul traffic, a series which has been optimized for rolling resistance, and the new SmartFlex all-year tyre range, designed for flexible use between long-haul and delivery traffic. Construction site and offroad treads from the SmartWork series will also be introduced. Specially adapted for use on vehicles of the EURO 6 emissions class, the designated treads for the steering and drive axle score particularly well for environmental friendliness and service life – important aspects of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) in the commercial vehicles OE business.
