<\/p>\nTotal Motion is in the process of converting around 70 per cent of its fleet to a Michelin Agilis CrossClimate tyre policy after predicting the tyres will deliver an extra 3,000 miles per set, versus its existing summer\/winter tyre policy. The shift in policy will make Total Motion one of the largest users of Michelin\u2019s latest generation light commercial vehicle tyre in the UK.<\/p>\n
The Leicester-based fleet management company will fit the tyres to 17,500 vehicles which include specialist passenger carriers and light commercials such as the Renault Trafic Passenger, the Vauxhall Vivaro, the Mercedes Vito and the Mercedes Sprinter \u2013 moving away from its previous strategy of fitting dedicated summer and winter tyres for each season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Total Motion\u2019s Strategic Account Manager, Harry Hill, says the new policy will save substantially on tyre storage costs, eliminate the downtime associated with seasonal tyre swaps as well as deliver improved vehicle performance \u2013 making a win-win situation for the firm\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe introduced the CrossClimate+ tyres to our car fleet when the tyre was launched, and our customers reported superb levels of performance,\u201d he says.
\n\u201cAs soon as the Agilis CrossClimate tyre became available for light commercial vehicles earlier this year we had the confidence that we would get the same results \u2013 we\u2019ve received excellent feedback on improved road safety and reduced downtime.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to be able to offer our clients vehicles that run on the best possible premium tyres as we are confident they will also be the safest and most efficient option. Plus, with a tyre that is now suitable all year round, it\u2019ll only require replacing once its worn, reducing all of the hassle and downtime associated with seasonal changeovers.\u201d Hill added.<\/p>\n
Michelin\u2019s Agilis CrossClimate is a summer tyre with full winter capability, boasting safety in all weathers, enhanced damage resistance and long-lasting performance \u2013 the use of premium high-tech rubber compounds means it will perform from the first millimetre right down until the tread wear indicator is reached. Its rugged tread pattern is manufactured with sidewall and shoulder protection features for improved robustness in service, including advanced protection from kerbing.<\/p>\n
The new tread-wear indicator comprises an easy-to-monitor four level gauge to inform drivers of when a tyre\u2019s tread is wearing \u2013 a feature that Hill says has had a positive impact for Total Motion clients.<\/p>\n
Hill goes on to say: \u201cThe tread-wear gauge allows the driver to take a quick glance at the tyres and see exactly how much tread is left. Our customers report back that it\u2019s so easy to use and takes out any guesswork about whether the tyres need replacing, ultimately saving them money by not replacing tyres before they\u2019re due.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since switching to a Michelin tyre policy six years ago, Total Motion customers have reported back on excellent performance and longevity, with tyres lasting up to 30 per cent longer than premium competitor brands, collectively saving them more than \u00a3250,000.<\/p>\n
