The Apollo Endutrax MD HD tyre

Apollo Tyres has launched a new truck-bus radial (TBR) tyre, Endutrax MD HD, specifically designed for mixed-service applications involving rigid tippers operating across highways and challenging off-road terrains in India.

Engineered for extreme durability, maximum uptime and heavy-load performance, the tyre addresses the needs of fleet operators working in demanding environments.

In mixed-service applications, where vehicles typically spend around 70 per cent of time on-road and 30 per cent off-road, tyres are subjected to heavy loads, rough terrain and abrasive surfaces and the Apollo Endutrax MD HD has been specially developed to withstand these conditions whilst helping fleets maximise productivity and reduce downtime.

Rajesh Dahiya, Vice President and Business Head, Apollo Tyres Ltd, says, “Fleet operators need tyres that can perform consistently under demanding conditions while keeping vehicles on the road. Our Apollo Endutrax MD HD tyre combines advanced engineering with extensive field validation to deliver higher durability, dependable traction and longer service life for mixed-service applications.”

The tyre incorporates an optimised casing design that effectively reduces heat build-up and delivers 45 per cent higher bead durability along with 25 per cent higher belt durability. Plus, an advanced tread compound provides 10 per cent improved resistance to cuts and chips, whilst a unique tread pattern inspired by a bear’s footprint enhances traction on loose and rugged terrain.

This new tyre has undergone extensive validation at Apollo Tyres’ Global R&D Centre, followed by rigorous field testing in real-world operating conditions. The results demonstrate reliable performance in durability, traction and load-carrying capability, meeting the expectations of fleet owners operating in demanding applications.

This latest launch further strengthens Apollo’s commercial vehicle portfolio by offering technology-driven tyre solutions that help fleet operators improve uptime, enhance productivity and lower the total cost of ownership.
