Green minicab fleet “thoroughly impressed” with Michelin

London’s largest green minicab company has switched to a full Michelin tyre policy. Explaining the decision to switch over to Michelin, greentomatocars managing director Jonny Goldstone said “Our customers expect us to offer the most environmentally friendly service possible, and working with Michelin helps us to achieve that goal. We believe Michelin products are the best on the market and we have been thoroughly impressed with the tyres since we started using them in February this year.”

The 300-strong greentomatocars fleet has been fitted with the Energy Saver+, a tyre specifically designed for city cars, MPVs and family cars. “Since then our fleet of Toyota Prius and Citroën people carriers has travelled more than three million miles, and the tyres have proved extremely reliable and cost effective for our business,” Goldstone added. “Equally important to us is that Michelin is concerned about the environment and its tyres help us in our overall mission to provide the greenest minicab service in London.”

Dave Crinson, head of Fleet Sales for Michelin, added: “We are proud to work with a company like greentomatocars that is committed to energy saving and reducing CO2 emissions. Whole life cost is a key consideration that fleet managers need to take into account. It’s refreshing and encouraging to see a fleet operating in the competitive London market considering the environmental and safety benefits of the tyres, rather than simply the purchase price.”
