Why LDV

Customers always seem to ask, "Why LDV?" Simply put, we are THE BEST! Sure, that's a pretty bold statement. But after three decades and over 16,000 vehicles on the road, our confidence is pretty high.

Now I don't expect you to take my word for it. I'd rather you heard from our customers

If you'll indulge me, here are a few reasons why I'm so confident that LDV truly IS the BEST:

We are the LARGEST SUPPLIER of Snap-on Mobile Tool Stores and unique Homeland Security specialty vehicles in the industry

LDV has been supplying Mobile Tool Stores to Snap-on Franchisees for 30 years…and we've never lost them as a customer. Many competitors have come and gone, but we still build 90% of all Mobile Tool Stores on the road. And that hasn't changed since we started in 1977.

Since pioneering the Special Service Vehicle marketing in the late 1980s, no company has built more special service vehicles for more satisfied customers than LDV. Again, don't take my word for it!

Expert designers and INNOVATORS who can turn your vision into a reality

In addition to Emergency Response Vehicles and Mobile Tool Stores, LDV builds a variety of products on diverse platforms, including Luxury Corporate Coaches; Mobile Catastrophe Response units; Mobile Sales and Display vehicles; Mobile Medical vehicles; bookmobiles; mobile service vehicles; etc. You can start with an existing model or a blank sheet of paper.

The bottom line is that our skilled experts know the in's and out's of making anything mobile. That includes systems integration with the latest technologies, platform recommendations that fit your needs, and unique designs that bring your idea to life. From engineering all the way through production, NOBODY does it better!

I honestly believe there isn't anything we can't do. I've watched LDV innovation thousands of times for three decades. I used to be amazed at what we would come up with. Now, I expect it.

RELIABILITY you can trust

Sure, that might sound cliché. But we stand by our products. When you are the top supplier to independent Snap-on entrepreneurs, you really don't have a choice NOT to take care of them. After all, if they aren't on the road, they can't make a living. And that same reliability is critical to emergency response professionals responding to disasters and other extreme situations.

LDV grew up with that attitude, and it's part of our culture that hasn't changed for 30 years. I won't let it change for the next 30, either.

As you review our website, please pay close attention to the diverse products and solutions we have built for over the past three decades. LDV's expertise is filling the void between unsophisticated "mom and pop" garages and fortune 500 corporations that simply can't provide a unique, custom solution to their customers. Our ability to recommend the right body and chassis, integrated with a functional design utilizing the latest technologies is second to none.

I truly hope we have an opportunity to earn your business and provide you with an innovative LDV mobile solution!

Very best regards,
