European trailer deal awarded to ATS Euromaster29 May 2012
ATS Euromaster has secured a major deal to service the tyres on global transport and logistics specialist DSV's 7,000-strong European trailer fleet. The three-year contract sees ATS Euromaster's team of mobile technicians providing a complete tyre maintenance solution for up to 1,000 DSV trailers transiting through the UK every day.
The agreement includes routine tyre safety inspections and any follow-up service work required at DSV's 19-strong network ofUK depots. Mobile teams will also inspect tyres at freight terminals, where the majority of DSV trailers arrive into and depart out of the UK by sea.
DSV will also benefit from direct access to ATS Euromaster's roadside rapid response service, which utilises the largest fleet of mobile tyre fitting vans in theUK. This guarantees prompt assistance in the event of a tyre-related breakdown anywhere in the UK, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Flemming Steiness, deputy manager of Denmark-based DSV Road Holding A/S, says: "We were clear from day one of this tender that we were seeking a service provider which was prepared to work in partnership with us. Close co-operation with suppliers is essential when you operate one of the largest and most efficient road transport fleets in Europe."
The DSV trailer fleet includes a mix of 6,500 tri-axle curtainside and mega trailers, together with 500 temperature controlled box vans. The fleet typically unloads in theUK and Ireland, before being re-loaded and travelling as far afield as mainland Europe, Scandinavia and Russia.
