Carry Significantly More Stuff and More Weight Too

 

This enclosed service body is often called a Plumber's Body because plumbers love its features. Yet many other contractors and jobbers love this truck body. It's enclosed to keep the weather and prying eyes out of the inner cargo area. It is like a service body on the outside with plenty of lockable storage. Most of the Plumber's Bodies are built on a 1-ton cutaway chassis, and they do a great job. This version is mounted on a Silverado Medium Duty 5500 to carry significantly more weight than those on the lighter-duty cutaway chassis. This truck can carry your heaviest loads with a 19,500 lb. gross vehicle weight rating.

The chassis is equipped with the Duramax diesel and Allison automatic transmission. This combination also provides fuel efficiency and enough power to tow trailers. This Royal RSV Plumber Style body has an aluminum roll-up door for easy entry and no concerns about doors getting in the way.

BrightDrop Electric Commercial Vans To Join Chevrolet

The all-electric walk-in van will be available through one of the broadest sales and service networks, offering commercial customers added convenience

2024-08-29

DETROIT — General Motors is moving its BrightDrop electric commercial vans under the Chevrolet brand.

The shift brings BrightDrop EVs to Chevrolet's broad commercial vehicle sales and service dealer network. BrightDrop EVs offer GM-estimated 272 miles of combined city/highway range* and advanced features to help keep drivers safe and alert.

Adding BrightDrop's electric vans to the expanding Chevrolet EV portfolio will give BrightDrop customers access to one of the industry’s largest and most extensive commercial sales and service networks and enhances brand growth opportunities. 

All Chevrolet dealers will have the opportunity to sell BrightDrop vans if they meet certain commercial EV requirements. Once certified, participating Chevrolet dealerships can service BrightDrop products, helping to optimize uptime for commercial fleet operators.   

“With the addition of BrightDrop to the Chevrolet lineup, we are combining advanced EV technology with the dependability and widespread accessibility that only Chevrolet can offer," said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. "This move strengthens our EV offerings and reaffirms our role as a leading commercial brand that enables businesses large and small to get work done."

BrightDrop was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2021. In 2023, BrightDrop was integrated into GM Envolve, the company’s fleet business, which serves thousands of commercial and government customers. 

“The Chevrolet BrightDrop 400 and 600 will continue to feature state-of-the-art technology designed to help enhance efficiency, reduce tailpipe emissions, and optimize service and delivery operations,” said Sandor Piszar, vice president, GM Envolve. “Integration into the Chevrolet portfolio will expand its reach and accessibility and offer more customers additional tools to help achieve their productivity and carbon-neutral goals.”

The vehicle will continue to be produced at the CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. 

“GM Canada is proud that our team at CAMI Assembly will now produce BrightDrop commercial EVs under the Chevrolet brand," said GM Canada President Kristian Aquilina. “This branding evolution is a testament to the potential GM and Chevrolet see for BrightDrop in the electric fleet market, and to CAMI’s production capabilities as Canada’s first large-scale EV manufacturer.”

Chevrolet 3500 Express Cutaway with Knapheide KUV Plumber Body

Say goodbye to crawling around in the back of your cargo van, endlessly searching for tools, parts, and equipment. The KUV optimizes the technician's organization by dividing the storage space into manageable compartments externally accessible from either side of the body.

Knapheide's KUV is constructed of rugged galvanneal steel, so the technician can have confidence it will provide years of reliable service. More contractors and technicians utilizing an enclosed utility body as their work vehicle choose a Knapheide KUV. If you spend more time searching for tools and equipment, invest in a KUV and get more billable hours out of your day.
