Several van upfitters have begun offering ladder racks, shelving units and partitions for the 2015 Ram ProMaster City compact van that entered the market in late 2014.
Companies such as Adrian Steel, Leggett & Platt CVP, Ranger Design, Werner's Weather Guard brand, and Knapheide's Sortimo brand unveiled the new upfit packages at the NTEA's Work Truck Show earlier this month. Several of the upfitters showed ProMaster City vans equipped with their products at the trade show.

Adrian Steel showed a ProMaster City prototype at the show with a Communications Package that could be used by telecommunications fleets. The company has begun offering a steel or wire mesh partition, ADseries shelving, drawer modules, blue bins, floor drawers, literature files, Grip-Lock and aluminum utility ladder racks, as well as several vocational packages.
Leggett & Platt Commercial Vehicle Products showed a ProMaster City painted with a blue-and-white color scheme, ladder rack, and steel wire mesh bulkhead.
Ranger Design showed a matte gray ProMaster City concept van at the Work Truck Show equipped with a roof rack that can accommodate two 28-foot ladders. The upfitter showed an interior Contractor Package with seven shelves, bins, a 6-inch "J" hook, and a contoured aluminum partition with a tempered glass window.
A ProMaster City with Weather Guard products appeared at the show with a dual clamp ladder rack with two Werner ladders, a windowed bulkhead, and a Pack Rat storage drawer and shelving unit on the cargo floor. A vertical shelving unit mounted behind the driver's side seat included two shelves, bins, and a can organizer.
The Auto Truck Group is the designed ship-through upfitter for Weather Guard products. The company uses its Maple Shade, N.J., facility to equip the vehicles before delivering them to fleets.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
