Advantage Radials

Radial-ply tyres offer a distinct advantage over bias-ply tyres. They may cost more, but they offer better productivity, higher cost savings, and comfort, writes Bhushan Mhapralkar. Earthmoving and construction equipment operate in a different environment from that of an automobile.

We expect the benefits of radial technology to generate an increasing demand.

The radial tyres developed by Michelin reduce machine downtime, increase productivity on loaders by providing better grip and decrease fuel consumption by 5-6 per cent on an average. One can easily imagine what can be the impact on the fuel bill for large fleets, says Harkesh Jaggi, Commercial Director Earthmover and Industrial Tyres, Michelin India. Excerpts of the interview.

Total availability of radial tyres in the country is supporting the demand.

Continental is betting big on the growth in India. With infrastructure development activities rising in the country, radialisation is also on the rise. Rajeev Kumar Agarwal, Director Sales and Marketing, Continental India, shares his perspectives with Garima Pant about the growth of radialisation in the country. Excerpts of the interview.

Michelin to begin production at Chennai plant

Michelin will start production of tyres in full swing for commercial vehicles from its plant near Chennai. Production at the Rs 4,000-crore plant is on at four of the six tyre-assembling lines. They make about 250 truck and bus radial tyres daily. Two more lines will start soon. The current production is about one-third of the annual capacity of about 300,000 radial tyres for commercial vehicles.

A note of optimism

The growthline of component manufacturers depends on the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). While the OEMs are looking hopefully at the coming fiscal year, component manufactures are carefully studying the market trends of various equipment segments.

Road to sustainable mobility through radialisation

Against a global backdrop of increasingly scarce raw materials, pollution choking our urban centres and severe weather patterns attributed to global warming, we are faced with a massive mandate to ensure how we act today does not destroy tomorrow.
