Hankook showcasing aftermarket portfolio at Automechanika Frankfurt
Hankook is exhibiting its automotive battery and thermal management businesses at Automechanika Frankfurt, where its Energy Solution battery business and Hanon Systems are appearing together.
The Energy Solution business is showcasing a broad range of premium automotive batteries under the Hankook brand, including AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) and MF (Maintenance Free) batteries featuring the company’s latest lead-acid battery technologies.
Demand for high-performance 12V batteries, including AGM and EFB technologies, continues to grow across Europe, driven by an aging vehicle parc and the increasing adoption of start-stop and hybrid vehicles.
Hankook’s AGM batteries are optimised for start-stop and electric vehicles, offering up to four times longer service life than conventional MF batteries, along with enhanced durability. They are designed to provide a stable power supply even in vehicles with high electrical loads from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), high-performance infotainment systems and other electronic features, addressing the diverse requirements of the European market for high-quality, technologically advanced products.
Hankook also benefits from a diversified footprint with production bases in Korea and the United States, a German subsidiary in Frankfurt and a logistics base in Hamburg. This global manufacturing presence provides the company flexibility in responding to changes in the European trade and regulatory environment affecting automotive parts from China, while supporting a stable supply chain of premium battery products to European customers.
Hanon Systems supplies a wide range of solutions in the areas of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, powertrain cooling, compressor, fluid transport, and electronics and fluid pressure Europe represents more than 35 per cent of the company’s global revenue, making the region its largest regional market.
Hanon Systems has launched a dedicated aftermarket page on its website, providing an overview of its aftermarket capabilities and offerings. The new page presents the company’s aftermarket approach through four core areas: proven expertise, thermal focus, electrification ready and customer support. It also introduces the new aftermarket slogan ‘Driven by OE Expertise’.
