Hankook has announced that it is now a full member of the Global Data Service Organisation (GDSO) for Tyres and Automotive Components, an international non-profit that promotes the digital standardization and easier sharing of data in the tire and automotive sector.
The association offers tire manufacturers and other organizations access to sector-specific data systems. The digital sharing of tire data and its efficient use take place via GDSO’s dataspace using a dedicated connector. Hankook’s membership, which started in July 2024, emphasizes its commitment to advancing the tire sector through technical innovations.
“With our full membership of the GDSO, we want to make our contribution to the organization’s goal of setting new standards for the efficient processing of tire data in the digital age. This includes providing reliable and accurate data for the tire dataspace,” said Klaus Krause, vice president and head of Europe Technical Centre at Hankook.
“With Hankook, the GDSO has gained another strong partner that is committed to digitalization and sustainability in the sector. Together, we will work to improve the standards in the area of data processing and to develop future-oriented solutions,” said Riccardo Giovannotti, GDSO secretary general.
