<\/p>\nScottish bulk haulier WJ&J Green has eliminated all instances of trailer tyre failures after signing a five-year Michelin EffiTires tyre management contract, which includes the roll-out of Michelin\u2019s EffiTrailer telematics system.<\/p>\n
It marks a return to a 100 per cent Michelin policy across the truck and trailer fleet, after a decade of fitting a variety of tyre brands.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Key to securing the deal was Michelin\u2019s ability to tailor a package which included weekly inspections carried out by a mobile Tructyre ATS technician, all tyre husbandry and fitting, and the installation of EffiTrailer across all trailers \u2013 providing additional features including tyre pressure monitoring and electronic braking system (EBS) data analysis, combined with constant geolocation.<\/p>\n
When a company fits EffiTrailer, Michelin commits to reducing the number of tyre-related trailer breakdowns by up to 50 per cent. But since EffiTrailer was trialled on the first WJ&J Green trailers nearly 12 months ago, no trailer with the system has suffered a single tyre failure.<\/p>\n
Iain Green, owner of WJ&J Green commented: \u201cNow we\u2019ve got EffiTrailer protecting our fleet, we wouldn\u2019t want to be without it. It\u2019s a fantastic solution and guards against roadside tyre failures, which can result in late deliveries, vehicle damage and cost.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a known fact that when tyres operate below optimum pressure, fuel efficiency suffers and the tyre runs hot, making it more susceptible to damage or sudden failure. EffiTrailer sends an alert to our transport office if the pressure in any trailer tyre drops below a pre-defined threshold, meaning we can take action before it results in downtime. It\u2019s a win-win situation for both us, and Michelin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrew Evans, truck regional sales manager for Michelin added: \u201cThe customer wanted to get back onto Michelin tyres and so we structured a policy which worked for them, bringing tangible benefits including increased uptime, greater fuel efficiency and more effective financial planning.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to specify the optimum Michelin tyres for every asset on the fleet. Plus, with the support of Tructyre ATS and EffiTrailer, we are focused on extracting the optimum performance and mileage from every single tyre we fit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
