Returning to the Road Transport Expo from June 24th to 26th, Hankook Tyre UK will showcase its new Laufenn365 digital platform at NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, to streamline tyre damage claims.
Hankook Showcases Its Product Range at the Road Transport Expo 2025
Hankook Tyre UK will showcase its portfolio of Hankook and Laufenn commercial vehicle tyres at the Road Transport Expo trade show hosted at the NAEC Stoneleigh in Warwickshire on Stand R30. Since its establishment in 2022, the Road Transport Expo has rapidly established itself as a premier event in the UK transportation and logistics industry, attracting diverse exhibitors and attendees and fostering innovation and collaboration.
As the show enters its fourth year, it’ll feature over 300 exhibitors. These exhibitors will provide opportunities to gain expert insights, discover industry innovations and vehicles, and network with industry leaders.
The Road Transport Expo is the ideal opportunity for Hankook to showcase its tyre range and highlight its established reputation for producing high-quality tyres that offer superb mileage, reliability and excellent return on investment. Hankook will also promote the launch of Laufenn365, a new digital platform designed to streamline damage claims for Laufenn tyres. The claims coverage guarantees Laufenn tyres against accidental damage, offering a refund under its damage warranty and providing customers with peace of mind and protection against unexpected costs.
Investing in Tyre Tech
Hankook continually invests heavily in tyre technology, aiming to design tyres to address the ever-evolving demands of today’s professional commercial vehicle operators. Debuting at last year’s show, Hankook’s e-SMART City AU56, the only tyre specifically designed for EV buses, will make another appearance, showcasing its exceptional durability, energy, efficiency and safety for urban transport.
This tyre is engineered for EV vehicles. It offers low rolling resistance for extended range per battery charge and reduced noise to enhance passenger comfort. It also provides robust durability to withstand high instantaneous engine torque and heavy loads, primarily due to the high battery weight. Also on display will be the newly launched 315/80R22.5 Smart Work AM11+, designed for both on and off-road use, offering enhanced durability for front steer applications. Designed as a robust mixed-service solution, it offers exceptional stop-and-start resilience, further strengthened with reinforced sidewall protection.
A range of Hankook tyres will be on display, including the brand’s hybrid usage tyres designed for regional and long-distance transport: the SmartFlex AL51, designed for the steering axle and an all-position tyre, and the SmartFlex DL51 for the drive axle. Both tyres offer exceptional performance from the first to the last millimetre tread depth and all modern Hankook truck tyres can be regrooved and retreaded.
Laufenn Products Included
In addition to promoting the latest Laufenn365 initiative, Hankook will showcase various Laufenn products. This includes the LF95 trailer tyre and two other Laufenn regional haul treads: the LF22 all-position and the LZ22 drive axle tyre. The Laufenn commercial portfolio offers exceptional value for money and guaranteed re-treadability across the range, aiming to reduce costs and decrease environmental impact. Hankook is the leader in the UK truck tyre replacement market. The development of Laufenn truck tyres results from extensive research into the ever-evolving commercial tyre market. It aims to strengthen market share in the UK further.
Jon Cottrell, UK Truck Sales Manager for Hankook Tyre UK, said, “The show is a great opportunity for both new and existing customers to connect with our team, enjoy our hospitality,”
“and explore tailored tyre solutions with our experienced tech and sales experts. Plus, it’s the perfect platform to showcase and discuss our latest market-leading products.”
