Spartan Fleet Vehicles and Services, a unit of Spartan Motors that includes Utilimaster and Spartan Upfit Services, recently demonstrated the benefits of its refrigerated Ford Transit Cargo Van at the 2019 MY Ford Fleet Preview in Washington DC.
Attendees saw “the industry’s most advanced temperature-controlled cargo van conversion,” in the heat at FedEx Field, the company said.
“We’re committed to understanding our customer’s unique needs and delivery challenges,” said Chad Heminover, president of Spartan Fleet Vehicles and Services. “Showcasing industry-leading refrigeration technology demonstrates our ability to apply the latest technical advancements with our unique understanding of last-mile delivery optimization.
“It’s a multi-temperature solution that requires no additional fuel source, so it can serve a wide variety of categories—from food and grocery to time and temperature sensitive healthcare deliveries.”
The refrigerated Ford Transit 250 Cargo Van, upfitted in conjunction with Delivery Concepts, preserves cold cargo quality while offering customizations such as removable bulkheads and optional thermal curtains.
Utilimaster’s Work-Driven Design process provides conversion solutions in walk-in vans, truck bodies and cargo van vehicles.
“Our Work-Driven Design process was developed to uncover specific customer needs and business challenges, then blend a best practices approach as to how to solve them,” Heminover said. “I’m proud that we were able to showcase this impressive unit at the Ford Fleet Preview.”
