Hankook unveils e-cube Blue TL20 trailer tyre
With its new e-cube Blue TL20, premium tyre, Hankook is expanding its range of trailer tyres to include a particularly environmentally-friendly expert tyre for long-distance transportation.
In addition to the central factors of safety and quality, the innovative commercial vehicle tyres, developed especially for European needs, were developed with regard to the greatly increasing requirements for overall operating efficiency in the haulage industry.
Hankook uses state-of-the-art technologies and high-performance tread designs that increase fuel efficiency and durability while at the same time improving the handling properties of the tyres.
When developing the e-cube Blue TL20, Hankook’s new long distance tyre, Hankook’s engineers put particular emphasis on sustainability. A new tread compound reduces rolling resistance by 8 per cent thereby saving valuable energy while driving. The associated reduction of fuel consumption and higher mileage creates important operating efficiency factors and reduced C02 emissions.
The optimised tread design of the Hankook e-cube Blue TL20 provides high braking performance on wet roads and superior wet grip. Four wide, circulating, main drainage grooves improve aquaplaning performance and also reduce noise levels.
The wide design of the tread surface has been developed especially for low wear and improved mileage. The innovative mixing technology increases the service life of the tyres by 55 per cent compared to standard products.
With the new environmentally-friendly trailer tyre e-cube Blue TL20, Hankook is reacting to the developmental trend in the industry and is adapting to the high requirements in long distance transportation.
As an environmentally-friendly addition to the successful e-cube MAX line-up, the new e-cube Blue TL20 has naturally been made with all the fundamental e-cube technologies like the Hankook Innovative Mixing System (IMS), which ensures optimised rolling resistance, and the patented Stiffness Control Contour Theory (SCCT), which increases durability of the carcass and improves retreadability properties.
