And these tyres will be bolted onto the BYD T4K, a one-ton electric truck that’s running clean electrical energy.

The OEM tyre that will be fitted on is the Hankook RA08 radial tyre. Built for light trucks, and it’s got some serious tricks up its tread. It has excellent wear resistance, which translates to more miles on the road. Plus, the optimized pattern design gives it good braking power. 

Now, let’s take a closer look at the T4K, the truck that’s making waves in the eco-friendly world. What sets it apart is the Blade-LFP Battery. And here’s the kicker – it’s got something called ‘V2L’ or Vehicle to Load. Translation? You can use this truck to power up your gear on the go. It’s like having a portable generator on wheels.

Now, let’s talk about Hankook Tyre’s grand plan. This partnership with BYD is more than just a tyre deal; it’s about solidifying their presence in the Chinese market, which happens to be one of the biggest EV markets on the planet.

Hankook Tyre isn’t just here to roll out tyres; they’re here to show off their cutting-edge EV tyre tech to the world. 

Hankook is also playing tyre supplier for other big names in the EV game, like Leap Motor’s electric SUV and NIO’s electric SUVs. They’re even in cahoots with Toyota for their all-electronic bZ4X in the Chinese market. So it seems like they’re in the game for the long run.
