KUMHO DEALERS RAISING MONEY FOR CAMP QUALITY


When Kumho Tyre announced its support of children’s cancer charity Camp Quality it committed to running a major fund raising promotion across its dealer network across Australia.


With more than 7500 kids facing cancer registered for services and programs with Camp Quality, and an estimated 750 aged between 0 – 15 being diagnosed every year, Camp Quality needs all the help it can get.


The new Camp Quality fundraising program includes ‘new car’ fragrance air fresheners and sets of yellow tyre valve caps for Kumho Dealers to raise funds and awareness for this incredibly important charity.


Camp Quality CEO Deborah Thomas says the partnership will enable Camp Quality to continue to provide much needed services and support to kids impacted by cancer.


‘We’re delighted to be chosen by Kumho Tyres as their charity partner and look forward to working with the Kumho team so we can create a positive experience for the kids and their families during this difficult time.’ says Deborah.

Global tyre manufacturer Kumho Tyre has announced that it has launched a new tyre digital twin system at its global headquarters in Seoul, marking a major step in the company’s efforts to digitalise its tyre development process. Shifting from traditional physical testing to virtual tyre development, Kumho says the new system enables the automatic design of multiple tyre versions using digital data and big data-based performance predictions. Kumho says its Digital Twin system shifts tyre development from traditional physical methods to a dynamic virtual environment and comes in response to the growing demand for digital transformation among automakers along with stricter environmental regulations. This allows design engineers to generate tyre designs, predict performance, optimise designs, and simulate vehicle performance - all within a digital framework. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the system selects the optimal design, and follows this up with a virtual evaluation based on vehicle dynamics analysis to verify tyre performance. “Tyres must meet strict standards for rolling resistance, braking, wear, comfort and noise reduction,” said the head of Kumho Tyre’s Virtual Product Development Centre Kim Keewoon. “Emphasising the need to optimise key design factors like compounds, tread patterns, structure and shape for more efficient testing and improvement of these elements,” he added. Kumho Tyre expects to shorten development timelines, improve performance and reduce costs with this system.
