Photos: New trucks for new routes

April 8, 2015

The trends are nothing new. Growth of commerce directly correlates to the expansion of packaged-goods delivery to businesses and homes across the country. The volume of deliverables, from household goods and business supplies to fresh food and produce, perishable products and a wide range of commodities, continues to grow, in large part due to the convenience of online shopping and ordering.

As a result, the popularity of commercial vans has increased to meet the changing needs of commerce. In addition, there has been an increase in the number of hub-and-spoke distribution operations, making a van fleet more effective and essential.

For more on the growing popularity of vans and how manufacturers are adjusting, read: New Trucks for New Routes.
