FR Conversions, a national leader in emergency and mobility vehicle innovation, has earned the prestigious Ford Pro Upfitter (FPU) accreditation. This distinction emphasizes FR Conversions’ long-standing commitment to quality and enables the company to expand its portfolio of Type II ambulances and full-size mobility vans built on the Ford TransitⓇ Chassis.

The FPU program β€” formerly known as the Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) program β€” sets the gold standard for final-stage vehicle manufacturers. To earn FPU status, manufacturers must meet rigorous requirements across compliance, quality, manufacturing standards, trade affiliation and production volume. With the FPU accreditation, FR joins a select group of upfitters trusted by Ford for their engineering rigor and customer-first mindset.

β€œWe are proud to be a part of the Ford specialty vehicle ecosystem. Our partnership with Ford is a testament to the quality, safety, and attention to detail that our team exercises every day,” said Anoop Prakash, CEO of FR Conversions. β€œThis recognition expands our ability to serve a growing industry population that depends on reliable, accessible mobility solutions. We’re ready to deliver and open more eyes to the value FR Conversions brings to the accessible transportation space.”
