The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, which features all-new engines, a new cab layout, and is built with numerous work friendly features was named the 2013 Fleet Truck of the Year.

Sponsored by Automotive Fleet and Business Fleet magazines, the purpose of the award is to promote excellence in the fleet industry, particularly the tools and vehicles that allow fleet managers to fulfill their missions. Vehicles were voted on by qualified fleet professionals via an online ballot.

"We are proud to recognize the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 2013 Fleet Truck of the Year award," said Sherb Brown, vice president and group publisher for Bobit Business Media's FleetGroup. "The Truck of the Year award is voted on every year by fleet managers, making this a real honor for vehicle manufacturers that serve this professional segment."

The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 garnered the most votes among a group of 36 trucks selected for this year’s competition.

"The Chevrolet Silverado being awarded the Fleet Truck of the Year is a true honor," said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president of GM Fleet & Commercial Sales. "It was our goal to provide our customers with a truck that can help them do the tough jobs and we feel that we've met that goal. The Silverado 1500 is a great truck."
