New Tyres Boost Commercial Vehicle Efficiency

Focus on Sustainability and Performance

The introduction of these tyres marks a significant step towards sustainable mobility solutions. JK Tyre aims to enhance performance, operational efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability through these new products. The company's advanced R&D centre in Mysuru and cutting-edge manufacturing processes have been instrumental in developing these tyres.

The JETWAY JUM XM is particularly noteworthy for its energy efficiency. With a 4-Star Rating and an RRc value of 4.9 KN/n, it stands out as the most energy-efficient tyre in its category. Designed for buses and trucks, this tubeless tyre sets new standards for fuel economy and cost optimisation. Given that fuel expenses account for about 50% of total operating costs in India, this tyre offers significant fuel savings while also reducing carbon emissions.

Innovative Solutions for Diverse Needs

In response to India's growing infrastructure needs, JK Tyre has also introduced the X-Series product range: JETWAY JUC XM and JETSTEEL JDC XD tyres. These tyres are engineered to meet current demands with enhanced performance, durability, and efficiency. The JUC XM is designed for tippers and trailers, offering a 10% longer tyre life which translates to lower operational costs.

The JDC XD tyre is built to handle heavy-load transportation requirements effectively. Known for its durability and sturdiness, it is ideal for use in tippers on drive and dummy axles. This tyre ensures long-lasting performance even under demanding conditions.

Revolutionising Electric Vehicle Segment

The JETWAY JUXe is specially designed for electric buses and aims to set new standards in performance and sustainability within the EV segment. These low RRc tyres enable electric buses to travel more kilometres per charge, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs. Additionally, the low-noise design aligns with JK Tyre's commitment to eco-friendly transportation solutions.

This innovative tyre will be used on TATA Motors' EV buses as well, showcasing a collaborative effort towards innovation and sustainability in India's public transportation sector.

JK Tyre's dedication to quality is evident through extensive testing of all four tyres under various conditions to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance. By introducing these advanced products, JK Tyre continues to lead India's transportation landscape towards more sustainable practices.
