Michelin has announced its partnership with sennder, Europe’s leading digital freight forwarder, to provide carriers with greater access to Michelin suite of innovative tyres on special terms.
The partnership will give sennder’s carriers customised access to a suite of Michelin tyres; that are low-rolling resistance, saving fuel consumption and durable, increasing tyre mileage, making journeys more cost-effective and sustainable.
Carriers can choose the tyre best suited to their needs. For example, Michelin’s long-haul MICHELIN X® LINE™ range, which offers low rolling resistance, or the new MICHELIN X® MULTI™ ENERGY™ range that is designed for both short- and long-haul transport and saves drivers up to 1.2 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres.
As part of the partnership, Michelin will provide sennder carriers access to its retreading services that replace the tyres’ tread, recycling the casing – reducing wastage and making tyres increasingly cost-effective. sennder and Michelin’s collaboration will initially focus on Northern Europe and Iberia, with plans to scale it across other European markets throughout 2021.
Philip Cordes, Michelin Vice President Marketing B2B Europe North, said: “We attach great importance to digital mobility and fleet solutions. In Europe alone, we have 1,000 staff members working on the digital Michelin Services & Solutions portfolio. We are therefore looking forward to working with sennder to explore new, innovative avenues.” For more than 130 years, Michelin has been successfully developing tyres, services and solutions to improve long-term mobility.
“Our partnership with Michelin is focused on innovation that makes European road freight fit for a sustainable future, benefiting carriers and shippers alike, said Franck Marcaire, Head of Value Added Services at sennder.”
