Kumho Tire is supplying two different types of tires that have been applied with noise-cutting technology for Kia’s electric vehicle EV6, the tire maker said Tuesday.
For a quiet driving experience, Kumho Tire said it is providing its Crugen HP71 and Ecsta PS71 for the EV6. The two models have been applied with K-Silent technology, which the company developed in 2014. Kumho Tire said the technology has been patented in Korea and other countries.
The K-Silent tires are made with porous polyurethane foam in the interior contact surface to reduce resonance noise generated by the tire, Kumho Tire said.
“By supplying the noise-cutting tires to the Kia EV6, we are able to meet the demand for sustainable mobility,” a Kumho official said.
Kia’s EV6 is the automaker’s first electric vehicle that is built on their new Electric-Global Modular Platform. The EV6 can drive up to 475 kilometers on a single charge, and it takes 3.5 seconds to go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour, according to Kumho Tire.
Kumho also supplies the Portran KC53 for Hyundai Motor’s Staria.
