CONTINENTAL Tyres has merged its Conti360° Fleet Services network with Bandvulc Key Partners fleet services.

Both brands will now operate under the Conti360° Fleet Services

Continental Tyre Group acquired Bandvulc in July 2016 in a deal which included Bandvulc’s leading UK fleet management service, Bandvulc Plus+ and its truck tyre retread business.

Following the acquisition, both the Conti360° Fleet Services network and the Bandvulc Plus+ fleet services have continued to run separately.

By the end of 2018, the merged network expects to have processed over 750,000 calls and attended to over 325,000 breakdowns with 1,500 service vans.

Continental said the 360° Fleet Services network will continue to offer full service for truck fleets in the UK.

Mat Wilkinson, Commercial Director at Continental Tyres, said: “The change to a one-brand service network is the next logical step for both brands, following Continental’s 2016 acquisition of Bandvulc. It will bring customers together to form one service network, for a simple, unified approach to fleet management.”
