Joining forces with affiliates Hankook Tire and Hankook & Company’s ES Division, this collaborative effort aims to enhance electrified and sustainable mobility, providing integrated solutions for customers within the automotive sector.
AAPEX: A Premier Automotive Platform
AAPEX, known as the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo, is recognized across North America as the premier automotive aftermarket event, drawing industry leaders from various sectors to discuss innovation and collaboration. It serves as an extensive platform for Hanon Systems to reveal its latest advancements in thermal management solutions. By participating, they aim to bolster their reputation as leaders in automotive innovation while collaborating with both OEMs and the aftermarket.
Building Strategic Partnerships

The goal is to develop tailored solutions that meet customer needs and enhance global business partnerships. By building on these interactions, Hanon Systems demonstrates its commitment to driving innovation in the automotive industry.
Thematic Booth Experience
The exhibition space allocated to Hanon Systems will feature six themed zones designed to showcase a variety of innovative products and technologies. These zones will include HVAC systems, compressors, coolant and refrigerant modules, heat exchangers, electronic and fluid pressure products, along with award-winning PACE technologies. This diverse array of exhibits emphasizes the company's commitment to sustainable mobility and enhanced vehicle performance.
Highlighting Advanced Technologies
At the entrance of the booth, an impressive vehicle mock-up will showcase Hankook & Company Group's integrated solutions, including Hanon Systems' acclaimed 4th-generation heat pump system. This innovative system, initially utilized in the Kia EV3, is remarkable as the world's first to feature a parallel heat-source recovery structure. This design enhances the use of ambient air and waste heat from the motor and battery, ultimately improving cabin comfort and battery thermal efficiency, which is crucial for extending the driving range of electric vehicles.
Additionally, the booth will feature eco-friendly electric vehicle components that utilize natural refrigerants. This includes Hanon Systems' R744-based electric compressor, achieved incredible milestone production of one million units by September 2025, marking a significant achievement in the automotive components industry.
Innovations in Air Quality Management
In the PACE Award zone, Hanon Systems will present its award-winning visible-light LED photocatalyst HVAC technology. This innovative solution enhances in-vehicle air quality by implementing advanced sterilization and deodorization techniques. With impressive efficiency ratings of 98.5% sterilization and 97.5% deodorization, it minimizes electromagnetic interference and provides semi-permanent durability—a notable advancement over conventional ionizing systems.
According to Soo-Il Lee, “Although AAPEX typically places focus on the aftermarket, it is acknowledged as an essential meeting point for innovation in the mobility industry. This exhibition allows us to spotlight technologies for sustainable mobility and showcase the synergy of Hankook & Company Group.”
