Apollo Tyres has inaugurated global research and development (R&D) centre - Apollo Tyres Global R&D BV- in Enschede, the Netherlands. This R&D center will function as a hub for the development and testing of car and van tyres for all product brands. The tyre maker has employed more than 100 people from various parts of the world, including 20 car tyre specialists from India and South Africa for this new centre. It will later be scaled-up to nearly 150 people.
Apollo Tyres produces the entire range of automotive tyres for ultra and high speed passenger cars, truck and bus, farm, off-the-road, industrial and specialty applications like mining, retreaded tyres and retreading material. These are produced across Apollo’s eight manufacturing locations in India, Netherlands and Southern Africa.
