XL Service Bodies has had a long term partnership with Ford, dating back more than 25 years providing Telstra with Fleet bodies on Ford Rangers. For Telstra alone, since 1991, we have built over 10,000 Service Bodies. We also supply Service Bodies to many of Australia’s largest and most demanding fleets using Ford Vehicles. We were one of the first to attain Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) status with Ford.
“XL Service Bodies is exactly the sort of company we choose to partner with.
Their investment in technology and advanced manufacturing is impressive. It reflects their commitment to delivering quality products, pushing boundaries, continuous improvement – which aligns with our values at Ford.
JP and his team go out of their way to check durability/quality and are keen to take things to the next level. I appreciate the close collaboration we have with XL Service Bodies and the team’s commitment to doing things right.”
