USA – Specialty chassis and full truck manufacturer, Spartan Motors Inc of Charlotte, Michigan, has purchased the assets of General Truck Body ("GTB") and will begin operating a production facility located in Montebello, California. The facility will be used to manufacture and assemble custom aluminium and composite-side truck bodies, refrigerated trucks, stake body trucks, curtain side and moving vans, last mile delivery vehicles and upfits, and other 'Work Driven Design' vocational solutions across GVWR Classes 1-7. GTB joins Spartan's Fleet Vehicles and Services (FVS) business unit. It will go-to-market under the Utilimaster brand.
The purchase of General Truck Body assets immediately expands Spartan Motors' truck body manufacturing operations into California, while enhancing refrigerated vehicle production capabilities and grants customers access to additional truck and van body types.
