innovative tyres are:
JETWAY JUM XM:
The JETWAY JUM XM boasts a 4-Star Rating and an RRc value of 4.9 KN/n, making it the most energyefficient in its category. This next-generation tubeless tyre is designed specifically for buses and
trucks to set new benchmarks for fuel economy and cost optimization. This translates to significant
fuel savings for transporters, addressing a crucial factor as fuel expenses account for approximately
50% of total operating costs in India. Additionally, reducing fuel consumption will also help to
significantly reduce carbon emissions, providing a sustainable and economically viable solution for
the transportation industry
JETWAY JUC XM and JETSTEEL JDC XD:
In response to India's robust infrastructure development, the company haslaunched its cutting-edge
X-Series product range: JETWAY JUC XM and JETSTEEL JDC XD tyres. Engineered to meet the current
demand, these two tyres offer enhanced performance, durability, and efficiency.

delivering lower operational costs and increased efficiency, making it an ideal choice. Whereas, the
JDC XD tyre is made to handle the demanding requirements of heavy-load transportation, ensuring
long-lasting performance and reliability even in on- and off-road conditions. Known for its durability
and sturdiness, the tyre is built for use in tippers on drive and dummy axles.
JETWAY JUXe:
Specially designed for electric buses, the JETWAY JUXe is a revolutionary tyre in the category posited
to redefine performance and sustainability standards in the electric vehicle (EV) segment. The low RRc
tyres enable electric buses to travel more kilometers per charge, contributing to enhanced efficiency
and operational cost savings. In addition to its energy-efficient design, the JUXe marks JK Tyre's foray
into low-noise tyres, aligning with the company's commitment to sustainability. Low-noise tyres not

solutions, making them ideal for the evolving needs of India's sustainable mobility landscape
The JETWAY JUXe tyre will also be deployed on TATA Motors' EV buses, demonstrating a collaborative
effort to drive innovation and sustainability in India's public transportation sector.
