Platinum Dealer Conference 2023 VIC/TAS/SA/WA

Kumho Tyres Australia were pleased to host a combined Platinum Dealer Conference for their VIC/TAS/SA and WA dealers in Adelaide. 


Held in November, Kumho Platinum Dealers made the trip into the Adelaide CBD and checked into the Sofitel Hotel, before making their way across to the Adelaide Zoo to hear from key Kumho staff regarding the brand and the Platinum Dealer program. 


Partners and their families had the opportunity to visit the Adelaide Zoo for the day while Dealers were getting into the nitty-gritty of all things Kumho. With Head Office in attendance, Dealers found it beneficial to have direct correspondence and conversations with key decision-makers, as well as finding out what the future looks like.


At the completion of the official proceedings, it was time to head back to the hotel and get ready to have dinner with the giant Pandas, Wang Wang and Fu Ni in their Bamboo Forest back at the Adelaide Zoo. During the wonderful three course dinner, Dealers were presented for their awards over the 2022 year, with
Murray Valley Tyre & Auto taking home the major prize of National Platinum Dealer of the Year. 


National Trade Marketing Manager, Paul Deer, was pleased with how the conference went, especially with it being in his home state. 


“It’s been difficult for everyone to come together over the past couple of years but we made sure this year we gave all our valued Platinum Dealers the opportunity to attend what I believe was a successful event,” Deer said. 


“We thank all of our Platinum Dealers for their continued support of the program and we are certainly looking forward to finishing the year strongly and then starting 2024 with a bang.”

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.
