ARI’s vehicles are supplied to customers such as the RSPCA and Autoglass, on a mixture of leasing, contract hire and contract purchase agreements.
Commenting on the deal, Keith Allen, managing director of ARI Fleet UK, said: ‘We have chosen to use Michelin tyres because they are quality products which meet the very latest performance requirements, and to work with ATS Euromaster because they offer a comprehensive and high quality service for our entire range of managed vehicles.
‘Our partnerships with Michelin and ATS Euromaster will play a significant part in helping us to achieve our aim of improving safety, driving efficiencies and lowering total cost of ownership for clients across the UK.’
Michelin key account manager, Paul Brady, added: ‘ARI has the largest fleet of its kind in the UK and we worked closely with them to find the best solution for the company and its customers. We’re confident that by choosing to fit Michelin tyres, ARI’s customers will see a number of key benefits including lower fuel bills, better mileage and increased safety.’
ATS Euromaster’s appointment brings a range of benefits to ARI customers, including access to a network of approximately 350 service centres nationwide. The company also operates approximately 900 service vans, which can be pre-booked by ARI’s customers to fit tyres at their home or place of work.
