Lower your Total Cost of Ownership

The decision to replace your service truck is usually driven by two factors related to chassis performance: 1) Hitting your mileage metric or, 2) Experiencing recurring maintenance issues. But neither of those factors is related to the life of your service body. So why give up on the body that your technicians love?

Re•Powering lets you continue to use your STI Body that is performing, even when your chassis isn’t. You get the confidence of a new chassis warranty, without the added expense of a brand-new body package.

HOW LONG IS THE LIFE OF A SERVICE BODY?

THE TRADITIONAL APPROACH

The traditional approach starts with the assumption that the service truck is a single piece of equipment. That’s understandable. We don’t generally view the body and the chassis of a vehicle as separate. During the warranty period (up to 100,000 miles), there are very few concerns. Eventually, the warranty expires and maintenance costs add up. So, when the truck reaches a certain benchmark – often around 200,000 miles or approximately 7 years – it is time to sell and purchase a new service truck, right?

THE RE-POWER APPROACH

While the traditional approach may make sense when you are considering replacing a chassis, it isn’t applicable when you look at the typical life of an STI Body. When you RePower, it’s like getting a second life. We remount your service body onto a new chassis, extending that body’s life for an additional 7+ years while giving you the confidence of a new chassis warranty..

If you’re trying to manage overall fleet costs, you can realize significant savings when RePowering, compared to the traditional approach. That’s just smart business!

Purchase > Maintain > RE-POWER > Repeat

WHY RE-POWER?

1) COST SAVINGS
Re•Powering (remounting your existing STI service body onto a new chassis) can save 60%-70% when compared to the cost of purchasing a new service body. Plus, you get the confidence of a new chassis warranty.

2) SHORTER TIMELINES
New truck build leadtimes can run 6-9 months or more. Re•Powering can often be done in as little as 2 weeks after the chassis is onsite at STI.

3) QUALITY ASSURANCE
Re•Powering an STI Body is done right in our manufacturing location. You get the same expertise and original parts that are used in a new STI Body.

4) ABILITY TO REFRESH
The Re•Powering process can include repair, refurbishment, and updating/upfitting accessories on your existing STI Body.
