Hankook presents its new city bus tyre SmartCity AU04+ with an even longer service life


In the stop-and-go business of city traffic #bus tyres must be able to withstand a heavy load and guarantee safe and efficient use at the same time. With the #smartcity #au04 #hankook is launching the ideal city #bus tyre on the market. The improved tread of the all-season tyre ensures as low and as even a wear as possible. The innovative tread compound and new tyre structure guarantee high safety and make efficient and #ecofriendly use in city traffic a reality. Thus #hankook has a comprehensive range of city #bus tyres available, comprising the AU03, AU03+ and the new #smartcity #au04.


Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 10th April 2018 – Premium tyre maker #hankook is extending its range for city buses by a new tyre line: #smartcity #au04. The #bus tyre for city traffic impresses through efficient fuel consumption and maximum wear resistance. The tread design has been adapted. An improved rib spacing, stabilising 3D tread blocks and optimised zigzag grooves ensure outstanding traction without restricting mileage. The constant starting and stopping in city traffic puts a heavy and irregular load on #bus tyres. “For this reason, #hankook has adapted the shoulder width and design for the #smartcity #au04, thus guaranteeing more even wear. The improved structure of the new tread compound makes the tyre much more heat-resistant, thus reducing wear and make a longer service life possible“, adds Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Krause, Hankook’s Vice President and Head of the European Technical Center in Hanover.
