Ammann India has expanded its Apollo series with the launch of the AP1000 Hydrostatic Sensor Tracked Paver, upgraded to comply with CEV Stage V emission norms. Apollo, a long-established Ammann Group brand, holds over 70 per cent market share in the wheeled paver segment and continues to strengthen its portfolio for India’s road construction ecosystem.

The AP1000 is designed for large-scale infrastructure projects, with a 133 kW CEV Stage V-certified engine to enhance productivity while reducing emissions. The paver supports a maximum paving width of 9.5 metres and a laydown capacity of up to 700 tonnes per hour. Key enhancements include a touchscreen display, improved operator ergonomics, and better manoeuvrability to support efficient and safe site operations.

The machine features an advanced material flow system and STV5800G screed to achieve uniform compaction and surface finish. Ammann India’s pan-India service network is expected to support high equipment uptime and strong lifecycle value.

Commenting on the launch, Dheeraj Panda, Managing Director, Ammann India Private Limited, said the new AP1000 reinforces the company’s focus on delivering performance, reliability, and sustainability for modern road construction needs.
