Apollo Tyres Launches Three EnduMile Tires at IAA 2026

Apollo Tyres Expands EnduMile Long-Haul Tire Portfolio

On September 7, Apollo Tyres Ltd announced plans to launch three new EnduMile long-haul tires at IAA Transportation 2026. The new models are the EnduMile LHA, EnduMile LH Front and EnduMile LHD, which will join the company’s established EnduMile LHT trailer tire. Apollo Tyres EnduMile tires are developed in Europe and are intended to address the operating requirements of long-haul transportation. The announcement expands the existing EnduMile portfolio with additional tire options covering different axle applications, while retaining the portfolio’s focus on maximizing fuel efficiency for long-haul operators.

Three New Tires Add Different Axle Applications

The three new EnduMile tires are designed for specific long-haul applications. The EnduMile LHA and EnduMile LH Front have both been developed primarily for steer-axle applications, giving operators additional choices for the front axle of long-haul vehicles. The EnduMile LHA also provides all-position capability, extending its application beyond a single axle position. The EnduMile LHD, in contrast, has been designed for drive-axle applications. Together, the three models broaden the EnduMile range across steer-axle, all-position and drive-axle requirements while the existing EnduMile LHT continues to serve trailer applications.

Fuel Efficiency Remains Central to EnduMile Development

The EnduMile portfolio has been developed around a key challenge faced by long-haul operators: maximizing fuel efficiency. That objective is central to the positioning of the new tires and connects the different application-specific designs within the range. By adding models for steer-axle, all-position and drive-axle use, Apollo Tyres Ltd is expanding a portfolio built around the operational demands of long-haul transportation. The company’s announcement specifically identifies fuel efficiency as the key challenge the EnduMile portfolio addresses, while the new models extend the range beyond the established trailer-focused EnduMile LHT tire.

Europe-Developed EnduMile Range Expands

All three newly announced EnduMile tires are developed in Europe, maintaining the regional development basis of the expanded portfolio. The EnduMile LHA, LH Front and LHD will join the EnduMile LHT as part of the broader EnduMile range presented at IAA Transportation 2026. Their differentiated applications give the portfolio coverage across several key axle positions used in long-haul operations. The launch therefore represents an expansion of the existing product family rather than a replacement of the established trailer tire, with each new model assigned a defined application within the long-haul tire range.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The expanded EnduMile range gives long-haul operators more application-specific tire options within a portfolio focused on fuel efficiency, potentially making the new models relevant to fleets evaluating operating efficiency across different axle positions. For Apollo Tyres Ltd, the launch strengthens its long-haul product offering by adding steer-axle, all-position and drive-axle coverage alongside the existing trailer tire. The immediate next step is the planned presentation of the three models at IAA Transportation 2026, where their positioning within the EnduMile portfolio will be introduced to the transportation industry.
