Hose: Definition & Future Outlook

The automotive industry is currently focusing on downsizing, lightweighting, and high-output powertrains to meet demands for high performance and fuel efficiency. As a result, vibration and noise have increased by over 10% compared to previous models, making vibration isolation a key factor in determining perceived quality.

Conventional methods—such as increasing structural stiffness or applying electronic controls—often lead to weight gain and excessive costs. In contrast, enhancing the isolation performance of rubber hoses serves as a practical and effective alternative for blocking solid-borne noise.

We are continuously improving rubber hose performance through new materials and technologies, contributing to superior NVH quality and competitiveness for future mobility.
