Fontaine Modification Eyes Zero-Emissions Future

Fontaine Modification’s longstanding reputation as a vehicle designer and integrator for the trucking industry’s OEMs has proved to be attractive to hopeful EV manufacturers. Fontaine built more than 150 EVs for a range of customers last year and plans to build more than 1,000 units in 2023.

“We have the opportunity to work with innovative companies, and they’re coming to us because they don’t know trucks and buses like we do,” David Brosky, vice president, sales and business development at Fontaine Modification, told TBB.

In addition to its work with battery electric vehicles, Fontaine is preparing for the future of zero-emission vehicles.

“It’s much more than just battery electric,” explained Mike Randolph, president of Fontaine Modification Work Truck & EV Solutions. “Yes, we’ve focused a lot on that—but the whole industry is changing. And what does Fontaine Modification do? We modify vehicles for customers’ unique needs, finishing those vehicles that are not mass-produced. The same mindset will be carried forward with any zero-emission vehicle.”
