Leading tyre maker, Apollo Tyres has introduced 5 new truck-bus radial tyres for
the Indian market. These new products are a mix of steer, drive and all-wheel fitment tyres, and
have been introduced to enhance customers’ operational productivity and offer the best in
technology. The tyres have been extensively tested in real world applications across the country,
before being introduced.
Apollo EnduRace RA, a regional all wheel or steer fitment tyre in the size 295/90 R20, offers the
customers added benefits on even wear characteristics, best in class initial tread mileage (ITM)
and superior durability in regional applications. The company is targeting for a leadership in the
steer segment with this product, which has the potential to become the new benchmark in steer
radial tyres. While the optimised contact patch guarantees even wear throughout the life, the
specially engineered groove design improves the tread stability, traction and steerability. The
superior compound, with blend of polymers, new gen fillers and special reinforcements ensures
best in class mileage and low heat build-up.
Apollo EnduTrax MA, launched in the size 295/90 R20, is a mixed application steer fitment tyre,
primarily for tipper trucks. It has superior cut and chip resistant compound for trouble free
performance in rough terrains. The stone ejectors prevent stone drilling and penetration for extra
prevention to the carcass. The zig-zag wide centre grooves provide traction and control, while
the robust wide shoulder ensures uniform wear. The carcass has been designed for high torque
and load for off road conditions, which increases tyre life and retreadability. The tyre is designed
to ensure customers get the highest vehicle uptime and lowest cost per kilometre in the growing
infrastructure application in the country.
Apollo EnduRace RD nRG, part of Apollo’s nRG range, is the most fuel efficient drive tyre for
regional to long haul applications, providing 5-8% better fuel savings with uncompromised
durability and tyre life. This is achieved due to the robust 4 block design and special grade raw
materials offering lower rolling resistance. The strong belt and bead package along with tension
optimised carcass provides durability, while the optimally designed tread pattern, with well
distributed footprint helps in usage of full rubber mass efficiently, thereby realising complete tyre
life potential. The Endurace RD nRG has been launched in the size 295/90 R20.
Apollo EnduRace LD+ and RA have been launched for drive and steer fitment in regional
applications for ICVs in the size 9.00 R20. Targeted towards the rapidly growing e-Commerce,
parcel and logistics industry, these tyres deliver advantages of- best-in-class tread mileage,
proven robust casing, uniform wear and better fuel efficiency. The twin centre blocks of this tyre
optimally set with shoulder ensures better load bearing and uniform wear. Superior belt
construction counters puncture damages inflicted upon the tread surface, offering prolonged
tread life and more retreads.
These five new products will further cement company’s leadership position in India in the truckbus radial segment, and will be a testimony to brand Apollo’s assurance on performance,
durability and specific application advantage.
