Apollo's Chennai manufacturing unit produces millionth truck-bus radial tyre Unit establishes Apollo Tyres as the clear volume leader in both passenger and truck-bus tyres in India

摘要

Apollo Tyres' iconic tyre manufacturing facility in Chennai produced its millionth truck-bus radial (TBR) tyre during week 5 of 2012. The TBR unit went on-stream with an initial production of 250 tyres a day in April 2010, and has been gradually ramped up to now reach 4,000 a day. Truck-bus radials account for 19% of the total commercial vehicle tyre produced by Apollo, which mirrors the overall radialisation of 20% in the category in India.
