Elite Vehicle Solutions

What Elite Vehicle Solutions does

Elite Vehicle Solutions is a privately held vehicle upfitting company founded in 2008 that provides turnkey customized vehicle modifications and outfitting services for commercial fleets and government agencies. It operates from three physical shop locations — Wall, NJ (headquarters), Frenchtown, NJ, and Chester, PA — serving customers across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware with a sales-led, direct-account model. The company delivers end-to-end upfitting of police patrol vehicles, K9 units, fire and rescue vehicles, transit enforcement vehicles, utility fleet vehicles, and specialty builds such as drone deployment trucks.

The company's core capability is vertical integration of the upfit process: in-house capabilities span metal fabrication, electrical engineering and wiring harness manufacturing, custom interiors, woodworking, vehicle wrapping and graphics, and graphics design. Proprietary features include an in-house wiring harness manufacturing capability built to company-approved methods, standardized fleet processing for consistency across vehicles, and an online Vehicle Configurator that allows customers to specify upfit requirements before engaging sales. Technology partnerships with OEMs and equipment manufacturers — Ford-Pro, SoundOff Signal, Setina, Code 3, TruckVault, Kussmaul, Havis, Westin, GoLight, Axon, and 3M — support integration of major vehicle platforms and emergency-equipment components into a single delivered solution.

The business model is project-based services revenue: customers pay one-time project fees for vehicle upfitting, plus aftermarket installation, repair, and de-installation services on vehicles already in their fleets. The offering is differentiated by a lifetime workmanship warranty, a large parts inventory for rapid turnaround, and a portfolio of named municipal and county accounts (e.g., Stafford Township PD, Bethlehem Township PD, Camden County Department of Public Safety, Aberdeen Township PD, Monmouth County Sheriff's Office, Philadelphia PD) that demonstrate multi-year exclusive supplier relationships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
