“Since day one, Royal Truck Body has established itself as the go-to service body for contractors and other professionals concerned about performance and perception. With its durable construction, high luster appearance, expert fit and finish, and ample storage space, these trucks don’t demand trade-offs between hard work and good looks,” said Steve Guillaume, president of Shyft Specialty Vehicles. “We look forward to bringing Royal Truck Body’s Severe Duty service body to the market and appreciate General Motors’ providing the platform to accomplish just that.”
Alongside the Severe Duty truck body launch, The Shyft Group’s Utilimaster brand will be showcasing its purpose-built cutaway Utilivan during the summit. Utilimaster’s Utilivan can be built on either a GM or Ford cutaway chassis, and is available in 10-18-foot lengths. Today, the Utilivan is in use by multiple parcel delivery customers, and offers highly customizable, modular interior shelving, among other innovative features.
