FLEET TYRES & MOBILITY

Tyre Fleet Manager Unmet Fuel Efficiency Data & Performance Monitoring Survey

Tyre fleet managers evaluate tyre performance data, compare fuel efficiency metrics, and navigate monitoring gaps across mixed fleets, so you can sharpen acquisition targeting, fix pricing positioning, and strengthen retention across fleet segments.

CONTEXT & RELEVANCE

Why run this survey now

Most fleet tyre managers don't lose fuel efficiency purely on tyre brand choice. They lose it due to inconsistent inflation discipline, mismatched load ratings, worn tread beyond threshold, irregular rotation schedules, and poor axle-position data, none of which fully show up in telematics dashboards or fleet maintenance logs.

If you are...

  • Fleet tyre procurement head
  • OEM vs retreader decision stage
  • Fuel cost reduction mandate holder
  • Fleet operations or compliance lead
  • Tyre performance data strategy owner

You're likely facing...

  • Fuel variance: tyre vs driver cause
  • Monitoring gaps: inflation vs wear data
  • Premium tyres = efficiency perception gap
  • Retreads = cost savings vs risk tension
  • Replacement cycle vs performance drop-off

This will help answer...

  • Top fuel efficiency performance drivers
  • Monitoring gap by fleet segment
  • OEM vs retreader preference split
  • Willingness to pay for TPMS
  • Replacement trigger vs cost threshold

Our Recommendation
Start with: Online web survey as the core quant layer, targeting fleet managers and tyre procurement leads across light commercial, heavy goods, and mixed-use fleet segments.
Consider adding: CATI for depot-based owners with low digital engagement, and F2F interviews for large national fleet operators where tyre contract complexity requires verified, in-depth responses.

CASELET 1

Tyre replacement triggers & brand switching behaviour (India)

CASELET 2

Fleet tyre monitoring adoption barriers & telematics fit (North India)

Tyre replacement triggers & brand switching behaviour (India)

OBJECTIVE

A pan-India commercial vehicle brand needed to map how long-haul fleet operators and last-mile logistics providers decide when to replace tyres, and which factors drive brand switching versus incumbent retention at the point of purchase.

WHAT WE DID

Ran a structured quant survey across 320 fleet procurement managers in six states, capturing replacement decision triggers , tyre lifecycle thresholds , vendor shortlist criteria , and the role of retreading versus new purchase in total cost calculations.

DELIVERED

A segment-level preference map by fleet type and route profile, a ranked switching trigger list by operator segment, and a set of message territories tied to the highest-weight purchase criteria for each fleet archetype.
