TransLinc Chooses Goodyear Dunlop as Sole Tyre Provider

Goodyear Dunlop has signed a ‘substantial’ fleet deal with Translinc, the UK’s leading provider of specialist fleet management and passenger services to local authorities, schools, health authorities and public sector clients. The deal includes all tyre orders for Translinc’s 2700 strong fleet of vans and trucks being looked after by Goodyear Dunlop’s TruckForce service network.

The contract includes the latest Goodyear Max Technology tyre that reduces cost per mile through improving fuel consumption and mileage with the help of low rolling resistance and innovative design. Supplying a variety of vehicles, from car derived vans to large refuse trucks, the majority on a contract hire with maintenance basis, TransLinc required a bespoke, cost effective tyre package to its customers.

The TruckForce network offers fleet customers nationwide and pan European coverage. It has 80 TruckForce Centres in the UK and over 1500 TruckForce centres in 30 countries across Europe.

“With the high-technology tyres, TransLinc can keep track of the performance and condition with ease. Our FleetOnlineSolutions application (FOS) will enable them to monitor the whole life cycle of a tyre from fitting to disposal and recycling online. The in-depth monitoring system can also highlight how each driver contributes to tyre wear and performance, as part of the TruckForce service,” said Phill Stanton, Commercial Sales Manager for Goodyear Dunlop.

Mark Werrell, National Sales Manager for TransLinc added: “The products on offer from Goodyear Dunlop enable TransLinc to provide an enhanced tyre service to all customers. In the current economic climate, repair cost and vehicle down-time is highly important, and offering services such as TruckForce and FleetOnlineSolutions is an attractive package.”
