Hoyer has selected Goodyear as its new tyre provider, ending a relationship with Michelin that began 18 years ago.

The bulk liquid distribution giant will fit its 400 units and 780 trailers in the UK, as well as 4,000 trucks and trailers across Europe, with KMax, FuelMax and Goodyear retreaded products.

Hoyer will also utilise Goodyear's TruckForce tyre management programme, roadside assistance and FleetOnlineSolutions.

Allan Davison, operations director at Hoyer, said: "The nature of our operation sees us transport hazardous materials day-in-day-out, therefore we need a product that is safe and reliable while delivering efficiency savings. We found this, tried and tested, in Goodyear's KMax tyre."

He added: "The TruckForce infrastructure enables us to get the optimum performance and maximum life out of our tyres. When you put this all together this package will increase our efficiency as well as reducing our carbon footprint."

Marc Preedy, Goodyear commercial director, said: "This is another proud moment for Goodyear which continues the substantial growth we have seen in our businesses over the last 18 months."
