Bridgestone Gain Bus Contracts
The growth of the Bridgestone Truck Point network of independent tyre dealers, coupled with a series of company-initiated fleet gains has led to increased Bridgestone influence in the UK commercial vehicle truck market. At the time of going to press, the Truck Point network covered 306 outlets, 1000 service vans, managing 50 centrally billed national fleet customers. (Including Europe, it swells to 2349 outlets in 28 countries). This year, Bridgestone’s truck tyre sales development culminated with the acquisition of the manufacturer’s first four bus contracts – Thamesdown, First Bus, Veolia and Plymouth City Bus.
