Veolia France adopts Goodyear’s Tyres-as-a-Service for its entire fleet

Goodyear’s tyres-as-a-service offering combines premium truck tyres, predictive analytics, and its expansive service network into one comprehensive, worry-free subscription. This model helps reduce total cost of ownership, increase uptime, and minimise emergency breakdowns — important for Veolia’s waste management fleet.

Thanks to Goodyear’s Tyres-as-a-Service, Veolia also benefits from advanced technology that automatically measures tread depth, enabling timely tyre maintenance and helping to improve safety and performance. In addition, automated mileage collection through the TaaS model reduces manual administrative work, further simplifying Veolia’s fleet operations.

In 2024, a pilot test was conducted at a Veolia Group site operating nearly 50 trucks to evaluate the impact of the Tyres-as-a-Service solution. The results demonstrated clear benefits across all components of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The solution allowed 94 per cent of tyres consistently maintained at the optimal pressure, generating significant fuel consumption improvement and 91 per cent reduction of the breakdowns, optimising the vehicle availability. Overall, the test vehicles achieved a 5.1 per cent reduction in TCO. Based on these results, the solution is now being rolled out across all Veolia Group sites, promising a substantial return on investment at scale.

In addition, part of Veolia’s fleet in France will be equipped with the new Goodyear KMAX GEN-3 range, which delivers proven mileage performance with improved traction and up to 13 per cent lower rolling resistance compared to its predecessor.

Designed with at least 40 per cent sustainable materials and ready for both conventional and electric vehicles, the KMAX GEN-3 lineup further supports Veolia’s goals of efficiency, safety, and more sustainable fleet operations.

“Goodyear’s Tyres-as-a-Service model will support us with proactive and efficient approach to fleet management. By outsourcing tire services to a trusted partner, we aim not only for reducing operational disruptions and costs but also supporting our broader goals around service efficiency,” said Vincent Caracostea Balan, category manager waste collection solutions, Veolia France.

“We’ve been able to demonstrate the strong value of our Tyres-as-a-Service solution during the pilot. This extended collaboration strengthens our commitment to helping customers like Veolia reduce unplanned downtime, lower costs, and focus on their core operations,” said Piotr Czyzyk, vice president sales commercial EMEA, Goodyear.
