Dutch\u00a0tyre firm Vredestein has\u00a0scored an early goal in its campaign to\u00a0gain a bigger share of the UK fleet sector.<\/p>\n

\"Purple

Purple Parking will now use Vredestein Comtrac and Comtrac 2 All Season tyres on its minibus fleet.<\/p><\/div>\n

The group’s\u00a0Comtrac and Comtrac 2 All Season van tyres<\/a>\u00a0have been chosen by major airport parking operator Purple Parking for its fleet of minibuses. These are used to ferry passengers between the group’s airports and\u00a0long-stay car parks, so receive heavy use\u00a0throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Vredestein\u2019s 185\/75\/16 Comtrac and new 235\/65\/16 Comtrac 2 All Season tyres were fitted to Purple Parking\u2019s fleet of minibuses in a series of tests carried out by tyre supplier Tomato Tyres, which maintains the fleet. According to the firm, Tomato’s tests showed that Vredestein Comtrac LV tyres were lasting at least twice as long as the existing brands used on the fleet and, in some cases, by up to four times as much.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were obviously keen to select the best tyre package for our fleet,\u201d said Purple Parking Operations Manager Steven Rowlerson. \u201cIn our business, downtime due to problems with our vehicles is something to avoid at all costs; fitting premium quality tyres actually results in cost savings and increased safety, whilst Vredestein\u2019s warranty provides even extra peace of mind.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The deal has also been extended to allow Purple Parking staff to enjoy preferential terms when\u00a0buying tyres for their own cars. Vredestein Fleet and Lease Manager Ricky Mitchell expects\u00a0the parking group’s new purchasing policy to provide\u00a0“substantial annual financial savings for Purple Parking”<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
