UK / Singapore – Global tyre manufacturer, Giti Tire Pte Ltd of Singapore, launched the Mercury fleet management system in the UK at the Road Transport Expo (RTX), which took place from the 28^th-30^th of June at NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire. Based on a cloud-based system, the application, which is available to download on any smart device, gives real-time data sets to drivers, owners and operators monitoring tyre health and allowing all work carried out by Giti Service Partners to be logged and visible to the fleets 24/7. Mercury works in conjunction with Giti Fleet, the tyre manufacturer’s end-to-end complete tyre solutions service designed to optimise operation costs. This includes products, maintenance, quality monitoring, retreading, technical support and 24-hour roadside assistance.

The software has been in development for the last two years and was trialled last September with several UK-based fleet customers. The service will be offered as a value-added service to all truck and bus customers contracted to the brand. The next stage of development is to add an option to purchase new stock through the application.
