CHARLOTTE, Mich., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A recent Fire
Truck Training Conference hosted by Spartan Chassis, Inc., a
subsidiary of Spartan Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPAR), attracted 199
fire truck service personnel of all levels of expertise from across
the United States, Canada and the Middle East, for rigorous service
training on the company's products and services. Attendance for the
event, which was held in Lansing, Michigan, August 2-6, increased
significantly over previous years. As more communities face
increasingly stringent budget limitations, Spartan Chassis
anticipates growth in the number of departments that will begin
performing their own inspections, preventative maintenance and
repairs. "Departments are recognizing the value of holding down the
cost of repairs and increasing the safety of their fire trucks,"
said John Sztykiel, president and CEO of Spartan Motors. Whether an
old or new model, our trucks are truly complex machines that we
build to each customer's specifications. We offer the formal
training needed by technicians to maintain and service Spartan
Chassis products to help keep them operational at all times."
Spartan's 15th annual training conference provided attendees with a
comprehensive understanding and hands-on demonstrations of
apparatus components and systems ranging from engines and
electrical systems to brakes and safety systems. Several of the 37
courses offered during the event provided preparation for Emergency
Vehicle Training (EVT) certification and re-certification exams
were held during the week. The 16th Annual Spartan Chassis Fire
Truck Training Conference will be held August 8-12, 2010 at the
Lansing Center in Lansing, Michigan. Additional conference
information and registration will be available online at
spartanchassis.com in early 2010. About Spartan Chassis, Inc.
