CHARLOTTE, Mich., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Spartan Fleet
Vehicles and Services ("Spartan"), a business unit of Spartan
Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAR) which goes to market under the
Utilimaster™ and Strobes-R-Us™ go-to-market
brands, provided FedEx Ground contractors with a deep dive into its
Work-Driven Design™ parcel fleet solutions at the Contractor Expo
held in Nashville, Tennessee, on
Friday, September 13. Utilimaster
served as a Platinum sponsor for the event, and its commercial
dealer channel's client development managers were onsite to provide
attendees with information on Utilimaster's walk-in van, truck
body, and cargo van upfit commercial delivery
designs.
The Contractor Expo offers FedEx Ground contractors the
opportunity to meet and network with hundreds of other parcel
contractors from across the U.S. and Canada. Utilimaster provides these last mile
delivery fleet contractors with a one-stop-shop for vehicle designs
and fleet upfit options that span GWVR classes 1-7.

with ecommerce growth, and with that comes a need for reliable,
quality fleet vehicles," said Chad
Heminover, President, Spartan Fleet Vehicles and Services.
"We're proud to serve FedEx Ground contractors around the nation
with vehicle designs that promote quick home delivery services. We
have positioned Utilimaster as a one-stop shop for walk-in vans,
truck bodies, and cargo van upfits, and in so doing, paved the way
for continued growth in this expanding segment."
Utilimaster's Work-Driven Design process provides a personalized
design and engineering approach, which begins with an in-depth
analysis of how drivers meet the needs of their customers,
including ride-along tours with drivers, ergonomics assessments,
