The second Michelin Truck Service Centre (MTSC) is being launched in November 2013 providing truck and bus operators with the first one-stop shop for tyres, maintenance and service in Limpopo.

Following on the success of the first MTSC branch launched in Villiers in the Free State in June this year, the new centre opens in Polokwane on 22 November and will offer truck and bus owners a host of professional services and quality products.

Jaco Venter, Partnership Programme Manager at Michelin Tyre Company South Africa says, “Truck and bus operators are under a great deal of pressure to supply on time, which means that vehicle downtime is simply not an option. With the expansion of our MTSC network, operators can be assured of obtaining the highest quality service, top products and the best advice all under one roof, wherever they may be.”

“The N1 through Polokwane to the border is known for its high traffic volumes and the new MTSC is well-positioned to offer transporters peace of mind knowing they can obtain professional service using state-of-the-art equipment and world-class products along the route.”

MTSC networks are currently operational in India, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Michelin Tyre Company South Africa plans to extend the MTSC network across the country, ultimately offering a complete breakdown service.
