Delticom Expands its Online Truck Tyre Offering

Delticom AG, the parent company of online tyre business such as mytyres.co.uk and reifendirekt.de, is reportedly expanding its truck tyres offering at ReifenDirekt. The product portfolio ranges from tyres for light commercial vehicles through business tyres and tyres for heavier trucks right up to special tyres — among other for tractors, forklifts and earth-moving. All well-known truck brands are available, according to the company.

Delticom’s move apparently comes in response to the downturn in the economy that has seen some consumers adapt a “savings instead of safety” policy by taking chances with tyres. Unfortunately, serious accidents involving trucks are not rare. According to statistics, provided by Delti every other truck had a fault in the previous year. In the safety tests prescribed for trucks, more than 47 per cent of the surveyed vehicles had problems, especially with the tyres.

At present, Delticom also offers truck tyres in Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Great Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland and Poland. The company currently runs 95 online shops in 35 countries and is striving to expand its truck business to other countries. The tyres are delivered free of cost inside Germany, normally within 24 to 48 hours, at the desired address of the customer, and anywhere in Europe within 72 hours. One third of the over 5,500 installation partners of Delticom in Germany also install truck tyres. The online-tyre dealer is also in a position to offer workshop equipment so that truck tyres can be installed independently.
