Apollo Tyres is to launch its ultra high performance summer passenger vehicle tyre at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show. The international event, the car industry's most important trade show, is due to run from the 8th to the 18th of March.

The Indian tyre manufacturer has also revealed that the latest tyre tests by German Motoring Association ADAC produced commendable results for all the three Apollo brands available in Europe - Apollo, Vredestein and Maloya.

An EU standardised tyre label is due to be introduced in November this year, according to Continental Tyres. The aim is to promote low emissions and better road safety, with standardised information focusing on three key criteria: fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise.

The system will work by giving consumers essential information to help them when choosing new tyres. This will take the form of a label, which will have values from A-G, excluding D to avoid an average performing tyre.
