Hankook Tyre UK secures headline sponsorship of 2021 BBC Top Gear EV Awards

Hankook will act as main sponsor of the 2021 BBC Top Gear Global Electric Vehicle Awards, which recognise the best EVs across 12 different award categories, including EV of the Year, Best Hatchback, SUV, Estate, and Hypercar. This arrangement builds upon other EV-related engagements, such as Hankook Tire’s upcoming tyre supply to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the world’s first and only all-electric street racing Formula series.

In addition, the tyre maker already posts a close relationship with the electric vehicle market, with several leading vehicle manufacturers already equipping their electric and hybrid models with Hankook EV tyres as original equipment. The Porsche Taycan is one notable example, and Hankook says more supply deals will “follow soon”.
