Hankook Tire was selected as the official, exclusive supplier and technology partner for the GEN3 electric racing cars in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as well as the FUNCUP Championship.

Hankook Tire has and continues to explore innovative mobility options to lead the industry and continues to advance the technology related to electric vehicle tires.

The tyres that Hankook have developed for Formula E deliver long-lasting performance and contain bio-sourced material and sustainable rubber. Natural rubber and recycled fibres make up to 30% of the current new Gen3 tyres and all tyres will be fully recycled after racing.

To enhance durability of the tyre, Hankook tested different options that are already established for regular ultra-high-performance tyres. The right balance between tyre construction and tread pattern increases the durability of the Ion Formula race tyre.

Additionally, the polymer blend of the tread compound has been specifically designed using low glass transition temperature polymers to improve abrasion resistance.
