MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
REV Group (NYSE: REVG), a $2+ billion manufacturer of industry-leading
specialty vehicle brands and leading provider of parts and services,
announced today that it has established a new service partnership with Ryder
System, Inc., (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial fleet
management, dedicated
transportation, and supply
chain solutions. Under a Ryder
SelectCare maintenance agreement, REV will leverage Ryder’s
extensive maintenance network with a program designed to deliver
nationwide vehicle maintenance services to the customers of REV Bus
Brands, which include Collins, Champion, ElDorado, ENC, Federal, Goshen,
Krystal, and World Trans.
The new partnership will enable REV to offer its dealers and their
customers access to a superior level of preventive and on-demand
maintenance solutions at hundreds of Ryder service locations throughout
the United States. This will supplement REV’s existing network of dealer
service centers and its growing list of REV Technical Centers. Together
with Ryder and its participating dealers, REV has created a
revolutionary vehicle maintenance program for the bus industry.
Under the Ryder SelectCare service agreement, REV bus customers will
have access to two levels of maintenance service — SelectCare Preventive
Maintenance and SelectCare On-Demand Maintenance. The preventive
maintenance option gives REV bus customers access to the same scheduled
maintenance programs utilized by large fleets to control costs and
maximize uptime. The on-demand option gives REV customers access to
Ryder service centers nationwide, so help is available when and where
needed.
Tim Sullivan, CEO and President of REV Group, commented, “The REV/Ryder
partnership creates an industry-leading service for bus customers that
no one else in the industry can offer. Coupled with our dealer network
and REV Technical Centers, Ryder’s maintenance program now greatly
expands our customers’ access to maintenance service, utilizing hundreds
of Ryder service locations across the nation. The new partnership truly
demonstrates the REV Group commitment to provide customers service
before, during and after the sale.”
Dennis Cooke, President of Fleet Management Solutions for Ryder, further
added, “Ryder is pleased to partner with REV Group, whose vehicles, much
like Ryder’s, have a positive impact on the daily lives of thousands of
people. It’s essential that REV’s buses are up and running to get
commuters where they need to be, both safely and efficiently. We’re
happy that REV, REV dealers, and their customers can rely on us to
deliver the most flexible maintenance solutions, with the most extensive
network of service locations, and access to the best diesel technicians
in the industry.”
