Hot streak for the van segment

Sales of Class 1-3 commercial vans are going like gangbusters at the moment, with a revised forecast by the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) calling for a 10% uptick in sales this year versus 2015, with another 8% hike ahead for 2017. Will this “hot streak” for vans continue? Many experts think so – especially as many work fleets seem to be transitioning from pickups to vans to gain more covered storage and interior work space.
