Halfords has ordered 60 additional Power360 equipped mobile tyre fitting vehicles from Bri-Stor Systems, part of The HEX Group. The deal follows a two-year trial and first wave rollout that delivered more than 30 percent fuel savings, along with predicted annual CO₂ reductions of over 1,200 tonnes across a 280 vehicle fleet.
Power360 replaces engine idling during tyre fitting with a high density lithium energy system. The setup powers compressors and workshop tools on site, which reduces fuel burn, lowers maintenance, and improves the customer experience with quieter operation.
Andrew Goodwin, Sales and Marketing Director at Bri-Stor Systems, said, “This contract proves that sustainable technology is not just about emissions, it is about hard commercial benefits too. Whole life cost savings more than offset the higher cost of green technology. Power360 helps fleets reduce in life fuel costs from day one, extend vehicle life and futureproof their fleet.”
Karl Baker, Director of Operations at Halfords Mobile Expert, said, “Our investment in 60 more Power360 equipped vehicles is based on hard evidence. The trials proved that lithium powered systems deliver real world savings on fuel, emissions and maintenance, while improving the customer experience. At a time when every cost counts, this technology is helping us build a fleet that is leaner, greener and fit for the future.”
With combustion engine phase out timelines ahead and customer demand for greener services rising, fleets are searching for low risk steps that deliver savings now. Power360 gives tyre service operators a practical bridge, cutting fuel today while preparing for more electrified vans tomorrow.
