Palatine-Backed DTM Acquires Tyrewatch

Our Skelmersdale headquartered tyre management specialist DTM, has acquired TyreWatch, Europe’s market leading provider of real-time tyre monitoring technology.

Based in Basingstoke, TyreWatch provides digital tyre management services to monitor and manage the wheels and tyres of HGVs and public service vehicles. Established in 2017, it has grown to support clients across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Australia

The acquisition strengthens DTM’s strategy to provide fleet customers with a tailored tyre management approach, using smart technology to predict and prevent potential roadside failure, reduce waste and improve fleet efficiency.

The addition of the TyreWatch and TrailerSmart technology bolsters DTM’s already highly effective tyre management offering, by using intelligent tyre solutions to detect tyre issues before they become obvious at daily visual inspections.

This powerful combination is well timed, as the industry’s focus on safety and reducing environmental impact intensifies, and fleet managers seek partners who share their ambition to minimise cost and downtime, ensure driver safety and compliance, and support decarbonisation.

John Matthews, Managing Director for DTM said, “DTM & TyreWatch have a shared strategy and passion to support our customers in increasing vehicle productivity, maintaining compliance and pro-actively minimising the environmental impact of their fleet operations through reduced waste and improved fuel consumption.

“Our customer-first ethos coupled with a strong team culture means the combined business will create further opportunities for customers, colleagues and suppliers and we are looking forwards to our next period of success.”
