Q. How are you participating in the global right-to-repair movement for the aftermarket?
A. At JK Tyre, we acknowledge the significance of the global right-to-repair movement and are aware of the need for customers to maintain and repair the used product. As a brand, we have consistently prioritised the needs of our customers while developing new products and have provided them with valuable options. Over the years, we have offered products with cutting edge technology that is favourable for customers in the aftermarket. Moreover, we also have over 50 Re-tread centres in the country with state-of-the-art technology, machinery and trained manpower. The centre helps identify and recommend relevant repair and re-tread procedures to the fleet owners that can bring down and reduce operational costs. These centres help in avoiding scrap, ensuring a second and third life for tyres.
Additionally, our ‘Smart Tyres’ range has a tyre pressure monitoring system based on sensor technology, enabling real-time smartphone application-based alerts for inflation and temperature breaches. It will help offer better fuel efficiency and lower breakdowns. Also, our ‘Puncture Guard’ tyres for cars and two-wheelers have special sealants producing a protective layer that instantly cures punctures, ensuring a hassle-free and secure drive. Our continual goal has been to create and provide customers with solutions that provide the most possible benefits while also being affordable.
