<\/p>\nTyre manufacturer, Apollo Vredestein has been awarded the Silver partnership status by the Freight Transport Association (FTA).<\/p>\n
Less than a year after joining the Van Excellence scheme as a supporting partner, Apollo Vredestein has achieved the Silver status in recognition of the role played by the brand within a scheme promoting compliance, road safety and self-regulation among van operators.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Apollo Vredestein is well-placed to support the innovative initiative, designed to recognise excellence within the commercial vehicle sector and improve operational standards, having recently earned the top place in German test body ADAC’s latest summer tyre test, which looked at commercial van tyres for the first time.<\/p>\n
The Apollo Altrust was given the highest score out of 16 tyre models tested in this category, using 13 criteria including performance on dry and wet surfaces, as well as durability, noise and fuel consumption.<\/p>\n
Karl Naylor, Apollo Vredestein UK Country Manager said: \u201cThe enhanced partnership with the FTA draws on our substantial technical knowledge and expertise to benefit commercial vehicle operators; the recent recognition by ADAC reinforces our position in the smaller commercial vehicle sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
European brand Vredestein, acquired by Apollo Tyres in 2009, is the latter\u2019s premium marque, with an impressive product portfolio for discerning van fleet\u00a0and private customers.<\/p>\n
Famous for using the\u00a0very latest developments in construction and material technologies, Vredestein and Apollo commercial tyres combine outstanding levels of road comfort with a high degree of safety. Vredestein\u2019s newest Comtrac range (including the latest All Season option for all weather conditions) is designed as a reliable and durable tyre with excellent handling properties\u00a0whilst carrying heavy loads. Similarly, Apollo\u2019s Altrust boasts a new-generation tread and base compound for extra safety and longevity.<\/p>\n
With four R&D\u00a0centres across the world and six factories globally, Apollo Vredestein has bold growth plans in Europe and has recently been appointed as OE supplier to major European vehicle marques and models.<\/p>\n
