Tata Xenon Yodha single cab pick-up trucks assembled by DIMO will ride on purpose-developed CEAT light truck radial tyres manufactured in Sri Lanka, via a Original Equipment (OE) partnership.
With this synergy, CEAT Kelani Holdings has manufactured a new radial tyre for the locally assembled Tata Xenon Yodha by DIMO, to meet the performance specifications of the vehicle, and the expectations of users.
The CEAT 215/75 R16 WINMILE X3 Rtyre is built for Low Hysteresis Loss, reducing the energy loss associated with carbon black reinforced rubber. The use of a high mileage compound and improvements in the footprint shape of the tyre also promise extra mileage, a media release from the company stated. CEAT Kelani Chief Operating Officer Shamal Gunawardene said, “Since CEAT has its own R&D and testing facilities in Germany and India, and our USP is our ability to manufacture products for local road conditions, these partnerships lead to continuous improvements that benefit the overall market, while supporting domestic value addition,” he said.
The Tata Xenon Yodha is assembled at DIMO’s state-of-the-art vehicle assembly facility in Weliweriya.
