September 26, 2013 – Reading Truck Body has announced the next-generation CSV57 and CSV75 classic service van, which claims to be more than 50% lighter than comparable steel bodies.

The new CSV features welded design construction and utilizes formidable aluminum alloy and extrusions throughout, including the load space floor. It is 210 lbs lighter than previous generations, allowing for greater payload capacity, improved fuel efficiency and less wear and tear on the chassis, said the company, adding that this all adds up to a positive impact on the owner-operator’s bottom line.
