Apollo Tyres is taking a major step towards sustainability by developing passenger vehicle tyres made with 75% sustainable materials. The company, which had previously produced sustainable Agri tyres, is now working towards making sustainable mobility solutions a reality.
The newly developed passenger vehicle tyres are composed of bio-based and recycled materials, making them highly eco-friendly. The tyres have been manufactured using a range of featured compounding ingredients in different components of the tyre, including natural rubber sourced from suppliers who are committed to sustainable sourcing practices and traceable to specific plantations, in accordance with the company's sustainable natural rubber policy.
P K Mohamed, Chief Advisor, R&D, Apollo Tyres Ltd, expressed confidence in the tyres, saying that they had cleared regulatory performance requirements and will now undergo extensive road evaluation under typical operating conditions. The tyres were manufactured at the company's latest and most modern manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh, located in the south-eastern coastal region of the country.
The development of these high-performance Electric Passenger Vehicle tyres (Apollo Amperion) and ultra-high performance (Apollo Aspire 4G+) passenger vehicle tyres is aligned with Apollo Tyres' sustainability journey, aiming to achieve the target of 40% sustainable materials by 2030 and to be carbon neutral by 2050.
Apollo Tyres is committed to building a sustainable future and continues to showcase innovation and commitment towards this goal. The development of these sustainable passenger vehicle tyres is a significant step in the company's journey towards sustainable mobility solutions, and it is expected to pave the way for more eco-friendly products in the future.
