On January 29, 2026, Apollo Tyres announced the launch of its new truck bus bias tyre range, aimed at improving performance and reducing operating costs for commercial vehicle operators. The Apollo Tyres truck bus bias tyre range has been developed to address the durability, mileage and uptime requirements of fleet owners operating in demanding conditions.
The newly introduced range comprises three patterns in the 10.00-20 size, a widely used specification across truck and bus segments. According to the company, the tyres were developed through close collaboration between global research and development teams and manufacturing plants, ensuring consistency in performance and quality.
Apollo Tyres truck bus bias tyre range features and patterns
The range includes two drive pattern tyres and one steer pattern tyre, each designed for specific operating requirements while focusing on long service life and reliability.
Apollo Tyres stated that the tyres have undergone extensive testing and integrate multiple technological enhancements aimed at improving durability, mileage and overall reliability. The design intent is to help fleet owners maximise vehicle uptime and operational efficiency.
Rajesh Dahiya, Vice President – Commercial Operations for India, SAARC and Southeast Asia at Apollo Tyres, said the new range represents a step forward in delivering superior value to customers. He noted that the combination of advanced design, construction and application-focused tread patterns is expected to support lower operating costs while meeting the requirements of newer vehicle segments.
The XT series drive pattern tyres are engineered to deliver consistent traction and durability across varied road and load conditions. In contrast, the XR steer pattern is optimised for stability, predictable handling and uniform wear, which are critical for steering axle performance.
Apollo Tyres operates as an international tyre manufacturer with a strong presence in India and manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands and Hungary. Its products, sold under the Apollo and Vredestein brands, are available in more than 100 countries, catering to a wide range of passenger and commercial vehicle applications.
