Classes 4 and 5 stripped chassis are used in various industries, including in large fleet operations. These chassis are mostly used in package delivery, snack food services and linen services. In 2023, the top use cases were delivery, material handling and food distribution.
In the future, we’ll see a shift toward electric vehicles that offer cleaner transportation, better driving conditions and increased load capacity. They’ll incorporate additional sensors and advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) technology, enhancing safety with elements such as collision avoidance, lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control.
Improved upfit bodies will feature more driver comfort, upgraded safety and modular shelving systems, allowing easy customization and reconfiguration to meet diverse operational needs.
