FAST fit specialist ATS has launched a new tyre control system which will offer leasing companies a fleet-wide tyre policy for a fixed monthly sum. ATS claims the initiative will revolutionise tyre management, bringing absolute predictability to one of the most significant areas of maintenance budgets.

It will also axe mountains of paperwork, with a centralised monthly invoice replacing the bills which currently accompany every transaction in a fleet tyre market worth some £150 million per year.

This new initiative will initially be restricted to larger leasing companies, where ATS can spread the risk over a greater number of vehicles. However, Holland said the scheme could be extended to large fleets.
