摘要

BMW HAS SELECTED Hankook's Ventus Prime~2 for several of its 1 Series models. The Hankook tyre will be fitted to the 116i, 118i, 116d and 118d in size 195/55 R16V. The upmarket 120d will also receive the Ventus Prime~2, in size 205/55 R 16W. The 1 Series fitment is Hankook's first OEM deal with the German vehicle manufacturer. Hankook describes its first supply of tyres to BMW as representing a "further milestone" in its global expansion plans. "BMW is one of the few car manufacturers that have succeeded in combining the latest environmental protection and safety requirements with the traditional brand values of sportiness and dynamics, and is a trendsetter when it comes to energy efficiency," stated Jin-Wook Choi, Hankook Tire executive vice-president and COO for Europe. "The fact that we are to supply our products as part of the original equipment of one of the most important volume models produced by the company gives proof or the reputation that Hankook products have gained amongst premium car manufacturers. All Hankook employees are very proud of this global partnership with BMW."
