Lancashire Haulier Fagan & Whalley Choose Hankook
XPO Logistics Awards Pan-European Tyre Management Contract to Michelin Solutions
Complete road haulage specialist Fagan & Whalley have selected Hankook Tyre UK to supply tyres for its 164-strong fleet of Scania trucks and 342 trailers. The Lancashire- based haulier chose Hankook Tyre after being offered a complete tyre solution coupled with its service and support package. Fagen & Whalley have adopted the Hankook
SmartFlex AH31 to all steer and lift axles, the SmartFlex DH31fitment to all drive axles and the TH22 for all trailer fitments. The selected tyre policy will provide stability, traction and high mileage returns across all areas of the operation throughout the UK.
Fagan & Whalley established in 1927 with a horse and cart employed on small deliveries around local villages. Today, six family generations and nearly nine decades in business later, they are a truly modern logistics provider, offering a first-class service with the highest quality equipment.
Fagan & Whalley now operate an all new Hankook tyre policy with a focus on reducing tyre costs across the fleet. A dedicated tyre management programme ensures the servicing dealers are proactive in providing a comprehensive tyre management service in line with the

Michelin solutions has been awarded a major contract with XPO Logistics, a global provider of transport and logistics solutions, to provide a tailored tyre management solution across nearly 80 per cent of its 17,000-strong European fleet. The three-year agreement was secured following a competitive tender process.
The EFFITIRES tyre management solution extends a long-standing business relationship between Michelin solutions and XPO Logistics. Whilst the previous 9,000- vehicle contract covered close to 90 per cent of the French-based fleet, plus all truck and trailer assets in Poland and Romania, the new agreement sees Michelin solutions’ share increased to more than 13,000 assets. This includes taking responsibility for 100 per cent of the French fleet, whilst also adding 2,300 new assets in the UK, 200 in Portugal and 50 in Luxembourg. Luis Angel Gomez, Managing Director–Transport, XPO Logistics Europe, says: “Michelin solutions is recognised within XPO as being a strategic-level supplier that supports
our long-term business goals. Their solutions are creative, flexible and proactive. This contract extension is our recognition of a job well done, and we’re confident that their solution will help to unlock even greater efficiencies over the next three years.”
Key to the contract was tailoring the partnership to use XPO Logistics’ network of workshops to fit and service tyres. The bespoke arrangement means XPO Logistics benefits from the support of Michelin solutions’ price-per- kilometre invoicing structure, fleet administration and established management reporting – whilst also making use of capacity and skills which exist within the customer’s own workshop network.
Agostino Mazzocchi, Sales Director Europe at Michelin solutions, says: “XPO Logistics is a prestigious customer, providing pivotal supply chain solutions to some of the most successful companies in the world – naturally we’re delighted to be renewing and expanding our close collaboration.”
