Michelin truck service centre on Delhi-Jaipur highway opened

Michelin has opened the first of its kind Michelin truck service centre (MTSC) at Kotputli on the Delhi-Jaipur highway. The one-stop shop, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including computerized truck tyre alignment, balancing and repair machines, offers end-to-end tyre-related services for trucks.

The MTSC was inaugurated by Mr. Jean Paul Caylar, CEO, Michelin India, in the presence of Mr. Philippe Neyrat, Head Sales & Marketing, and Mr. Harkesh Jaggi, Manager Distribution, and other officials.

MTSC helps consumers reduce maintenance costs and optimize benefits from Michelin and other branded radial tyres. The opening of the MTSC facilitates easy availability of Michelin products and services along India’s highways and will help to meet the soaring demand for Michelin radial tyres.

On the occasion, Mr. Jean Paul Caylar said: “We see India as an economy developing at an accelerated pace, with focused growth in infrastructure. The highways across the country carry heavy traffic. Therefore, that is where the demand for a service centre was inevitable. As a beginning, we are opening MTSC at Kotputli, which will bring to the end users and fleet owners sophisticated services at competitive prices in minimum time”.

In keeping with its commitment to India, Michelin offers services mainly for radial tyres, which help contribute to save fuel, up to 10 per cent. Truck radials reduce the cost of the fleet owner by cutting his fuel bill and the overall tyre bill.

The extra benefits from the MTSC are reduced vehicle operation cost, a longer life for tyres through proper repair and alignment, as well as cut in turnaround time, ensuring higher productivity for fleet owners.

The MTSC is spread over an area of around 5,000 sq. ft. and has customer waiting area, showroom for display, etc., an exercise undertaken by Michelin for all its MTSC outlets. This is an internationally successful format, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.
