Apollo photo Apollo tires for the North American market will be produced at Apollo's 4-year-old plant in Hungary, as well as at its plant in India. ATLANTA — To paraphrase astronaut Neil Armstrong: Apollo has landed. With a commercial truck tire portfolio. In North America. To compete against the Tier 1s in the market. Indian tire maker Apollo Tyres Ltd. — which last year (re)launched the Vredestein brand of passenger tires in North America — is rolling out a range of Apollo-branded truck/bus tires in the U.S. and Canada after several years of testing its products throughout the continent. This launch involves not only a product line new to the North American commercial truck industry, but also a brand name that is as unfamiliar in the U.S. as it is a brand leader in the company's home market of India, where it claims a 32% market share.
