OLD HICKORY, TN – Wise Industries, Inc.’s VanWise interior packages qualify for commercial incentive programs, allowing fleet owners and independent contractors to equip an eligible new van for little or no cash out of pocket. 

“Our new VanWise components are basically a free product for fleet carriers or anyone that uses a cargo van for commercial purposes,” said Ron Wise, president, Wise Industries Inc. “Both GM and Ford offer upfit reimbursement programs that pay the customer back for qualified equipment purchases. These programs allow for the purchase and installation of our VanWise components then pays the vehicle owner back for part or all of it.”

The GM Business Choice Program and Ford Commercial Connection Program are offered to businesses that purchase or lease an eligible Chevrolet, GMC or Ford van and use the vehicles for day-to-day business operations.

According to Wise, these money-savings programs are often unfamiliar to buyers and dealers.

“Commercial upfit reimbursement programs can save business owners a substantial amount of money,” said Wise. “Participation also allows businesses to experience the benefits of our products and increase the resale value of their vehicle.”

The VanWise package includes the ProVan Liner, a panel package, the Environmental Partition, a bulkhead package, and a VanTred or VanRug, a flooring package. Each package may be used alone and can be used in conjunction with installation of shelves or bins.

The ProVan Liner kit includes precision die-cut sidewalls, headliner, door panels, wheel well, and fuel filler covers. All parts are made from a non-woven cargo liner bonded to sturdy automotive fiberboard. When installed, the kit provides insulation and protects the van’s interior sheet metal from damage caused by cargo shifting, or when cargo is moved quickly onto shelves when loading and reloading.

A molded Environmental Partition serves as a bulkhead and completely seals the cab from the cargo area, fitting the contours of the vehicle and eliminating gaps, allowing for better regulated cabin temperature and decreased cabin noise. A roll-up door, in lieu of a swinging door, saves floor space.

Also available for the van are two different floor mats. VanTred is constructed with a rubber surface material laminated to a closed-cell foam padding. VanRug is a non-woven carpet surface material laminated to a closed-cell foam padding. Both surfaces are extremely rugged yet provide a cushioned surface for your knees or your cargo.

The VanWise packages are available via local light truck accessory stores or commercial upfitters in the United States and Canada.

Complete program requirements for participation in the GM Business Choice Program and Ford Commercial Connection Program are available via the dealer, upfitters, or through Wise Industries, Inc. For more information, visit www.gmbusinesschoice.com and www.commtruck.ford.com/ctw/default.asp.
