JK Tyre, a radial tyre manufacturer, has rolled out its 20 millionth truck/bus radial (TBRs) tyre recently.

The company achieved the distinction of crossing the 10-million production mark of TBRs in August 2016, and now within four years, has now attained the milestone of rolling out its 20 millionth TBR.

Commenting on the achievement, Raghupati Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director, JK Tyre, said: “This is a landmark achievement, not only for JK Tyre, but for all its stakeholders, especially the customers who have shown their unwavering trust in our engineering prowess and technological capabilities. As a pioneer and market leader, we remain committed to driving innovation and bringing products for our fleet customers that are high on efficiency, safety and cost effectiveness. We will continue to work towards strengthening our position through Technology and revolutionary sustainable mobility solutions.”

Showcasing innovation and technological excellence across segments, the company recently launched first-ever ‘Smart Tyre’ technology, which monitors the tyre’s vital statistics, including pressure and temperature. Thus, becoming the first tyre manufacturer to foray into the connected mobility space.

The company also is the first tyre manufacturer to launch the next generation of fuel-efficient ‘Fuel Saver Technology’ TBR tyres that is built on the cutting edge advanced JETOCT technology, which helps improve vehicle efficiency by saving up to 8 per cent fuel in comparison to normal radial tyres.
