Brit European extends Prometeon Tyre Group contract

Cheshire-based logistics provider Brit European has extended its long-standing relationship with Prometeon Tyre Group with the renewal of its 12-month rolling Pay-as-You-Go contract, which includes Prometeon’s ‘PRO Management’ central billing and tyre management tool. This agreement covers Brit European’s entire fleet of 162 tractor units and rigids, 201 trailers, and a mix of cars and vans. Prometeon supplies Brit European with its latest Pirelli Serie02 tyre products.

The Brit European heavy haulage fleet transports plant and construction machinery for JCB and Mercedes Trucks and Vans over the length and breadth of the UK motorway network, with specialist port staff at Immingham, Lincolnshire, and Purfleet, Essex. This is a high mileage fleet that travels well over a 1million kilometres a year transporting an average of 120 JCB machines a day.

Asked why Brit European has remained loyal to Prometeon, Andy Evans, optimisation manager at Brit European, says that “Prometeon’s heritage and expertise is a key factor.” He adds that Prometon has become a “trusted part” of the Brit European team. “Their exemplary tyre management skills, outstanding customer support, and comprehensive dealer network have helped to secure our continued growth.” He also praises Prometeon’s Pirelli-branded truck tyres: These have “been proven over the years to suit our unique fleet’s needs – a tyre failure is virtually unheard of.”

Wayne Bell, Prometeon’s national fleet manager, adds: “We are proud to be a valued partner of Brit European, and alongside our dedicated tyre network, we will continue to deliver the best tyre products and proactive tyre management service supporting Brit European’s operational demands. We fully support Brit Europeans visionary thinking of creating a 100 per cent carbon neutral operations centre, and we will continue to work closely with them towards achieving ‘net zero’ by 2050.”
