The company’s dry truck bodies are constructed with Wabash National’s DuraPlate composite panels, fleet-proven for heavy-duty freight applications for nearly 20 years. The truck bodies also incorporate semitrailer-grade components and designs for added performance and longevity.
“Earlier this year we opened a dedicated facility in Lafayette IN for the production of truck bodies and other final mile equipment,” said Yeagy. “Although we’re in a limited production phase currently, we will continue to ramp up production for both dry and refrigerated truck bodies over the next 18 months.”
The launch of Wabash National’s truck body line comes in the midst of a surge in e-commerce, reshoring and re-urbanization, in addition to a changing regulatory environment.
For example, to meet safety considerations and regulatory changes, both Wabash National truck bodies feature a rear underride guard tested to US and Canadian standards.
