The price-per-kilometre (PPK) deal covers the Northern Ireland-based operator’s 530 assets, including DAF, MAN, Renault, Scania and Volvo tractor units, rigid trucks and a mixed fleet of trailers.
Trucks are being fitted with Michelin X MultiWay 3D XDE drive and XZE all-position tyres, with X Multi T tyres for the trailers.
“Our deliveries are always highly time-sensitive,” says Michael McLernon, managing director at Morgan McLernon. “Since signing up to the Effitires programme, our fleet downtime has fallen to an all-time low, and Michelin Solutions’ tyre management expertise is helping us get the best from every casing in terms of longevity, safety and durability.”
The tyre management deal “is proving a truly cost-effective solution”, he says, adding: “The comprehensive programme offers a predictable tyre budget linked to fleet activity, and allows us to keep up to date with tyre usage statistics through regular reporting and feedback.”
Michelin worked on the deal with its local service provider A One Tyres, which will be responsible for supporting the fleet.
