"We continue to experience growing demand for last mile delivery fleet vehicles, as more and more consumers are shopping online simultaneously increase the delivery of both essential and non-essential goods, direct to their doorstep," said Chad Heminover, President, Shyft Fleet Vehicles & Services.
