Operating cost reduction an ATS Euromaster focus for next CV Show

The Commercial Vehicle Show 2013 will take place between 9 and 11 April, and ATS Euromaster says it has decided to make helping fleet operators reduce operating costs its number one show objective. The company will use its 150 square metre stand to reinforce how it works with customers to reduce vehicle operating costs and improve tyre life, safety, uptime and fuel economy. Van service, maintenance and repair (SMR) will also take prime billing on the ATS Euromaster stand; this is to reflect the £14 million investment the company has made over three years to expand its non-tyre offering and to highlight its ability to accommodate the largest vans in 95 per cent of all ATS Euromaster centres.

“Third-quarter GDP data shows the UK is out of recession, but the economy is only inching along with minimal growth,” commented ATS Euromaster group sales director Peter Fairlie. “As a result, vehicle operators need to be managing their running costs closer than ever before; almost every conversation we are having with fleets right now is about delivering savings.”

Looking ahead to the Show, Fairlie added: “ATS Euromaster service more van and truck tyres than anyone else.  We want to use this experience to help additional fleets reveal the changes we can make together to secure genuine improvements in efficiency.  We can help them put their hands right on the cost levers.”

Fairlie says the CV Show is the single biggest opportunity to meet with hauliers, own-account operators and lease companies from around the UK under one roof.  He adds that in recent years ATS Euromaster has done a “significant” amount of business over its three days at the NEC – and he is confident the company will do so again.
