For fleet managers, the bottom line is clear: maximise efficiency, minimise downtime, and ensure the smooth operation of your vehicles. Choosing the right vehicles is paramount, and the Trucksmith LoLoader offers a compelling solution for fleet customers, delivering a potent combination of practicality, durability, and the unwavering support of Trucksmith’s legendary attention to detail and aftersales care.

Why the Trucksmith LoLoader is the Smart Choice for Your Fleet:

Investing in a fleet requires careful consideration of total cost of ownership. The Trucksmith LoLoader is engineered to deliver long-term value to your fleet:

• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The LoLoader’s intelligently designed low loading height significantly speeds up loading and unloading processes. This translates directly into quicker turnaround times for your drivers, allowing them to complete more deliveries or jobs within their working day. Multiply this across your entire fleet, and the efficiency gains become substantial.
• Increased Payload Capacity: Moving more with less is crucial for fleet optimisation. The LoLoader’s maximised internal volume and payload capacity allow your vehicles to carry larger or more numerous items per trip. This reduces the number of journeys required, lowering fuel consumption, mileage accumulation, and overall operational costs across your fleet.
• Driver Well-being and Safety: The reduced lifting required thanks to the lower loading height not only speeds up operations but also contributes to the well-being and safety of your drivers. Minimising physical strain can lead to fewer work-related injuries and reduced absenteeism, ensuring a more consistent and productive workforce.
• Robustness and Reliability: Fleet vehicles endure heavy daily use. The Trucksmith LoLoader is built with durability in mind, using high-quality materials and construction techniques. This inherent robustness translates to fewer breakdowns, less unscheduled maintenance, and ultimately, reduced downtime for your fleet – a critical factor in maintaining operational continuity.
• Versatile Fleet Integration: The LoLoader’s adaptability, with various body configurations like Luton, dropside, and tipper options, allows for seamless integration into diverse fleet operations. Whether you’re in logistics, construction, or any other industry requiring transportation, the LoLoader can be tailored to meet your specific fleet requirements.
• Professional Fleet Image: Maintaining a professional image across your fleet is vital for customer perception. The well-designed and durable Trucksmith LoLoader contributes to a positive brand image, projecting reliability and professionalism to your clients.

The electric Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) market is heating up, and a recent partnership between Stellantis and Iveco is set to bring more electric van options to the roads. Stellantis, a major player in the automotive industry, has announced a deal to supply electric vans to Iveco, expanding Iveco’s electric vehicle line-up. This development has significant implications for businesses and, importantly, for Trucksmith and our custom van conversions.

What’s Happening?

Essentially, Iveco will be adding Stellantis-manufactured electric vans to their range, rebadged and sold under the Iveco brand. This allows Iveco to quickly expand its electric offerings without the substantial investment needed to develop its own electric van platforms from scratch. For Stellantis, it means increased market share and production volume.

Why This Matters for Trucksmith Customers:

• Increased Electric Van Availability: This partnership will likely lead to a greater availability of electric van chassis in the market. This is crucial for businesses looking to transition to electric fleets and for Trucksmith, as it provides more base vehicles for our specialized conversions.
• More Options for Conversions: With more electric van models available, Trucksmith will have a wider range of vehicles to work with. This means more diverse and tailored conversion solutions for our customers, whether you need a bespoke LoLoader, Tipper, or Dropside configuration.
• Supporting the Electric Transition: As the UK moves towards its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, partnerships like this are essential for accelerating the adoption of electric LCVs. Trucksmith is committed to supporting this transition by providing high-quality, customized conversions for electric vehicles.
• Future-Proofing Your Fleet: By choosing Trucksmith conversions on these newly available electric platforms, businesses can future-proof their fleets, ensuring they remain compliant with evolving environmental regulations and benefit from the long-term cost savings of electric vehicles.

Trucksmith’s Role:

At Trucksmith, we understand that every business has unique needs. Our expertise in custom van conversions allows us to adapt these new electric platforms to meet your specific requirements. Whether you’re in construction, delivery, or any other sector, we can create a tailored solution that maximizes efficiency and productivity.

Looking Ahead:

The Stellantis-Iveco partnership highlights the growing importance of collaboration in the electric vehicle industry. As more manufacturers join forces to develop and distribute electric vans, businesses will have greater access to sustainable transportation solutions. Trucksmith will continue to monitor these developments and adapt our conversion offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
