PICS: Apollo Tyres Chennai Factory. Detailed report on the making of a Tyre

raghuvir · 14th February 2015, 01:07

I have changed the rear tyre on my Harley twice, first with the Metzeler and now with the stock Michelin Scorchers. All these are imported, the reason being, there is no equivalent Indian tyre available which is comparable cost wise as well as performance wise. If there is a market for these tyres in India, i'm wondering why Indian companies are not coming up with equivalent tyres.

Wow whan an amazing thread. I chanced upon this thread on our main website (team-bhp.com). Thanks to Vid he even psoted the pictures of Caterpillar Generators (the company and department that I work for).

These are 3512B 1200 eKw with 51.8 liters of displacement (the two smaller ones) and 3516B 1600 eKw with 69.0 liters of displacement (the bigger one). One of the most rugged & reliable generators out there.
