Readers of leading transport industry magazine What Van? have voted Trucksmith ‘Van Converter of the Year 2017’.

The announcement was made at a special awards ceremony in London on 13 December, 2016.

The company fought off stiff competition from 14 other vehicle converters to scoop the prestigious award.

A spokesman for What Van? said, “It is not difficult to understand why our readers voted for Trucksmith. The company has found a way around the traditional drawbacks of Luton vans, such as poor aerodynamics, high floors, and poor handling due to the high centre of gravity.”

Daniel Trebble, Managing Director at Trucksmith said, “To think that they’ve voted for us over some worthy competition makes us incredibly proud and it is an exceptional achievement for our business. It reflects our focus on innovation and quality, and our investment in state-of-the-art production facilities and well trained staff has been key to our success. Thousands of our vans are now on the UK’s roads and the public now recognises Trucksmith brands, such as Renault Master LoLoader and Vauxhall Movano KneeHi.”

Trucksmith pioneered the low-loading Luton van model and is an approved body builder for leading van marques including Renault, Vauxhall and Fiat.
