Beverage truck news continues to show a mixed bag for 2014 as many truck manufacturers are still in a “holding pattern” due to economic uncertainty. However, in the midst of what could be identified as a stagnant market for product updates, there are a few bright spots.
The most notable of the positive news relates to the introduction of three all-new van offerings in the light-duty segment. Vans have long been limited to merchandising tasks or servicing coolers and dispensers, mainly due to dimensional limitations. Although these new vans won’t be able to take on a full seven- to eight-stop route, they’re all built to be pallet friendly.
