Stagecoach UK renews outsourced tyre management deal with Michelin12 June 2015

Bus operator Stagecoach UK has awarded another two-year tyre management contract to Michelin Solutions in what is thought to be the largest tyre contract this year for the passenger transport sector.

Under its EffiTires agreement, Michelin manages tyres for the operator's 8,800-strong fleet on a price-per-kilometre basis.

Michelin's technicians (called fleet operators) are based in each of Stagecoach's 100 major bus garages across the UK, where they prepare wheel and tyre assemblies, and monitor tyre pressures.

Michelin also provides Stagecoach with detailed tyre reporting following each fleet-wide tyre safety inspection, producing management information which is shared with the engineering teams in each garage.

Sam Greer, Stagecoach UK's regional director for Scotland, says: "We have full confidence in Michelin Solutions' fleet operators to look after our tyres from the first fitting to the last mile, ensuring we benefit from a strong blend of safety, performance and reliability."
