The Hankook iON electric vehicle (EV) tire has won four Red Dot Design Awards in the Product Design category.

The iON line was introduced last year and is available in North America.

"Designed from the ground up for high-performance premium electric vehicles, the iON features a balanced set of characteristics such as low noise, rolling resistance, and high mileage," say Hankook officials.

"The Red Dot Design Award evaluates industrial product design in the categories of product design, brand and communication design and design concept. This year, over 20,000 products were entered from 51 countries around the world."
