New
Process Offers Expedited Conversions and Modifications of
Gasoline-Powered
NPR-HD Single Cab Models
When placing orders for new trucks,
Isuzu dealers can select a ship-thru option to indicate that they have arranged
to have the trucks modified at one of two independent modification centers near
the trucks’ Charlotte , Michigan assembly plant. Following the modification,
the center will return the trucks to ICTA, which will then transport them to the
dealers that ordered the units. This new process will eliminate unnecessary
dealer-incurred transportation expenses and will shorten the amount of time necessary
to obtain alternative fuel conversions and certain other types of other
modifications.
ICTA made the announcement at the
Alternative Clean Transportation Expo in Long
Beach , California .
Utilimaster, Inc., offers CNG/LPG
alternative fuel conversions and other modifications for Isuzu trucks to
dealers and customers at a modification facility located on the Spartan Motors,
Inc., campus in Charlotte , Michigan . IMPCO Technologies, Inc., offers
CNG alternative fuel conversions at the IMPCO modification facility in Union City , Indiana .
“This ship-thru option simplifies
the movement of a completed truck from the Charlotte port to a near-plant modification
center and finally back into the Isuzu logistics flow.” said Shaun Skinner,
executive vice president and general manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of
America. “This can provide substantial cost savings for our dealers that
require truck modifications not offered by Isuzu.”
