TRUCTYRE PPK MILEAGE CONTRACTS

Fleet Tyre Maintenance Knowledge

We have been running contract tyres for ten years for many large fleets such as Lucketts Travel, Fyffes and Grundon Waste Management and many other commercial passenger and haulage concerns.

We have built up a good database with our own in-house developed IT systems that serves as a reliable platform for P.P.K. tyre contracts.

What Does PPK Cover?

P.P.K. tyre contract covers all elements of running a tyre programme including:

• Tyres – Premium Brands, i.e. Bandag, Bandvulc Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear Michelin, TTS, Vaculug
• Service/Maintenance
• Inspections
• Breakdowns and Repairs
• Labour
• Ancillary components – valves, valve extensions
• General admin and reporting
• Damage (negotiable)

What Happens to New Vehicles?

When ordering new equipment it is imperative they are ordered on policy tyres and we will assist the customer with this concerning the tyre specification with the vehicle manufacturers dealer.

Once a vehicle has arrived, a full audit is carried out and details entered on our system. The value of the tyres are put on the system / bank and we then implement it’s P.P.K. rate immediately.

This is done because vehicle manufacturers demand 50% worn tyres as a minimum, when returning vehicles on guaranteed buy back or lease and on average used vehicles tend to be approximately 50% worn at the end of their life.

What is a P.P.K. Contract

Basically, the benefit of P.P.K. is you only pay for what the customer uses, which is based on the vehicles kilometres. If they have a known kilometre budget, they can forecast ahead offering fixed costs, which assists cash flow and overheads.

P.P.K. is used widely in Europe with large fleets, and in the UK the largest fleet on P.P.K. is Wincanton Transport Group.

What Input Does the Customer Have?

It is imperative a customer has input to the P.P.K. policy, because it’s based on “Best Practice”. A policy is derived from selecting the best tyre for the application, and related service procedures, which can only be based on the customers operation, and the fact they’re the ‘O’ licence holder.

How Is PPK Administrated?

We will e-mail or fax each location at month end for the vehicle tachograph readings. Once in receipt, the customer will have one invoice with all costs broken down by vehicle. This obviously reduces a lot of administration costs and manages their costs.

What Happens to Current Equipment?

This is based on the same principles as new vehicles, but usually the tyres on average are usually 50% worn in any case, so the asset value is held in the vehicles bank.

Length of PPK Contract

For all fleet tyre contracts on PPK the customer would be contracted for a minimum of three years.

What Are The Hidden Costs in PPK?

The only area that is rechargeable is malicious damage that exceeds a percentage of the contract value or theft. The value would be based on the same basis as takeover millimetres remaining. Damage can be charged separately or insured.

What Rate Will the Customer Have?

The rate is based on the Fleet Profile form
