Thecompany in a nutshell: 131, 529employees; a sales network covering 170countries; 68 production sites in 19countries; technology centres on 3continents (Europe, Asia, North America);net sales of 16.9 billionwww.michelin.comMichelin Fleet Solutions offers large truck fleets all-inclusive tyre managementservices, providing the customer with numerous advantages: instead of buyingtyres, customers purchase travel mileage. Designed for large European andNorth American truck fleets, Michelin Fleet Solutions is a full service offer thatincludes tyre availability and supply, maintenance and monitoring to provide thecustomer with streamlined management, budget control and improvedproductivity. The "Fleet Solutions" system is based on the principle of the sale ofa service replacing the sale of a product. It features a new economic modelin which the invoicing unit is the mile or kilometre travelled. The market for thistype of offer is strong since transportation companies strive to focus resources ontheir core business, particularly by outsourcing vehicle maintenance. MichelinFleet Solutions is a business model well adapted to the current era of high energycosts. The virtuous circle of sustainable development is in place: top economicperformance goes hand in hand with a lower environmental impact for thebenefit of all.Environmental BenefitsEnvironmental benefits accrue directly and via advantages for both the customerand the company. Fewer materials and energy are consumed for more activity.Tyre performance is optimized, thereby cutting fuel consumption. Fewer endof-lifetyres need to be recovered, thus reducing energy use and other disposalcosts. Customers know their tyre budget up front and no longer fund their tyrestock. Former fixed costs become variable costs and the rate of unscheduleddowntime time is reduced.With a fleet of 7,000 buses andcoaches, Stagecoach Group, aMichelin Fleet Solutions customer, isone of the United Kingdom's largestcoach operators.International Road Federation Innovative Practices for Greener Roads Back to Table of Contents I 31
