Bridgestone and NatRoad focus on long-haul sustainability
Announcement posted by Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand 29 Jan 2018
Industry body NatRoad and Bridgestone are using their partnership to bring greater savings to members and help make the road freight industry more sustainable for business operators.
Bridgestone is offering a 10 per cent discount** to all NatRoad members across the full range of commercial tyre solutions: Bridgestone and Firestone tyres, as well as Bandag retreads, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to the transport industry.
NatRoad CEO, Warren Clark, welcomes the initiative by Bridgestone and says the partnership has proved a winner for NatRoad members so far.
“Bridgestone and NatRoad share a focus on safety, environmental sustainability, technology and promoting the industry to ensure its viability. The passion for the industry is evident by the quality, technology and offers they present to NatRoad members.” Mr Clark said.
“The ongoing discount for members directly helps operators, particularly smaller ones, to reduce operating costs. It complements the partnerships NatRoad has forged to benefit the 45,000 trucking companies throughout Australia and support the 140,000 people working in the industry.”
Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand Managing Director, Andrew Moffatt, says it is transport companies who are the beneficiaries of the NatRoad partnership.
“We’re thrilled to extend our NatRoad offer into 2018 following its success last year. The road transport industry is what keeps Australia moving and Bridgestone is proud to support NatRoad members by helping reduce operating costs,” Mr Moffatt said.
“Bridgestone is positioned perfectly to support the Australian trucking industry through its network of more than 130 commercial stores, and a further 700 affiliated service providers.
“We are dedicated to providing total tyre management solutions, from owner/operators right through to Australia’s biggest fleets. Our close relationship with NatRoad is a further demonstration of our commitment to the industry,” Mr Moffatt added.
As well as giving members access to a host of offers such as tyre deals, NatRoad also lobbies and advocates on behalf of its members to government and regulators as well as offering advice on legal and compliance issues.
