European trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull and Hankook have agreed a multiyear original equipment (OE) tire supply partnership, running from July 2026 to June 2030. The agreement marks Hankook’s return to the European commercial-vehicle OE market and covers trailer tires including the Smart Line long-distance, Smart Flex regional and local distribution and Smart Work off-road ranges.
“The development of the European logistics market opens up new potential for close partnerships in the commercial vehicle tire segment, which is increasingly important to us from a strategic perspective,” said Jongho Park, president and COO of Hankook Tire Europe. “As an industry leader, Schmitz Cargobull has particularly high standards in terms of quality, performance, efficiency and sustainability.
