Hankook equips festival ambulances in the UK

Hankook Tyre UK has donated 12 Laufenn tyres to Festival Medical Services (FMS), a volunteer-run, non-profit charity delivering professional medical support at major public events across the UK and supporting medical charities worldwide.

Staffed by qualified medical professionals, FMS reinvests all surplus funds into charitable healthcare projects, ensuring both immediate event safety and lasting social impact.

By fitting three FMS ambulances with Laufenn X Fit Van 4S tyres—a versatile, all-season tyre designed for safety, reliability, and long-lasting performance — Hankook is helping ensure that FMS crews can continue their lifesaving work with confidence.

Hankook’s support for medical charities extends back many years, most notably through its partnership with the Air Ambulance Services, which covers Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland. The partnership began in 2017, when Hankook donated the first set of tyres for the charity’s rapid response Critical Care Cars.

As the Air Ambulance cannot operate helicopters in darkness or in extreme weather conditions, the Hankook equipped vehicles are a vial resource, enabling clinicians to deliver lifesaving care on the ground, 365 days a year.
