Multi-million pound investment for commercial vehicle converter

Commercial vehicle converter CPD has announced a £10 million investment to expand its offering of converted vehicles. 

The new range is designed to cater to the varied needs of tradespeople and fleets across the UK.

The investment supported the purchase of vehicles, ensuring £6m in stock availability, including a broad selection of new single and double cab chassis, ready to be converted into tippers, dropsides, and Luton vans. 

Panel vans designed for customisations such as welfare vans, passenger transport, and specialist shelving and racking configurations are also part of the expansion. 

As part of this investment, CPD has significantly expanded its range of fully electric models.

Already, a significant percentage of the company’s current orders are for electric vehicle (EV) conversions, highlighting the growing demand from businesses eager to future-proof their fleets and reduce their carbon footprint.

“This investment reflects our commitment to empowering UK businesses with innovative, reliable vehicle solutions,” said Cathal Doocey, managing director of CPD Bodies. 

“As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, we’re proud to support businesses in future-proofing their fleets with sustainable, zero-emission options. 

“Whether it’s a sole trader or a fleet manager, we’re here to deliver purpose-built conversions, ready for rapid delivery, to drive success and support a greener future.”

All CPD conversions are carried out on-site. Customers can either purchase a fully converted vehicle directly or supply their own chassis for conversion. 

The company also offers a web-based portal that allows clients to track their vehicle build in real-time.
