HANKOOK TYRE UK EXTENDS PARTNERSHIP WITH DEVON TRUCK SHOW INTO 2026
Premium tyre manufacturer Hankook is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with Devon Truck Show, taking place on 22nd-25th May 2026 at Smeatharpe Airfield, Honiton. As one of the UK’s leading regional truck and transport events, the show brings together fleet operators, owner-drivers, and industry professionals from across the Southwest and beyond, creating a dynamic platform for product discovery, networking, and industry engagement alongside a packed programme of entertainment and family-friendly attractions.
Visitors to the Hankook stand will be able to explore a comprehensive selection of truck and van tyres including the SmartFlex AH51 (steer) and SmartFlex DH51 (drive), renowned for their exceptional grip and impressive mileage performance from the first to the last millimeter of wear. Also featured will be the SmartFlex TH31 trailer tyre, alongside the newest commercial van tyre, the Vantra Transit — a summer tyre specifically developed for modern commercial vans and transporters.
Complementing the Hankook range, the company will also present a selection of tyres from its Laufenn brand, including the LZ22, an all-weather drive tyre optimised for regional applications; the LF21, an all-position tyre offering exceptional wear resistance; the LF95, a robust trailer tyre engineered for high durability and mileage.
Visitors can also view the Hankook Dynapro HP2, a premium summer tyre designed for SUVs, and the iON evo SUV, Hankook’s EV-specific summer tyre designed to deliver outstanding wet grip, enhanced traction, and consistent performance.
In addition to its role as a main event sponsor, Hankook will proudly sponsor the ‘Best Truck’ and ‘Best Van’ award categories. Open to all drivers showcasing their vehicle at the event, these awards recognise individuals and businesses who demonstrate exceptional standards in vehicle presentation, maintenance, tyre care and road safety.
