An article HERE mentions the change on the eve of the FDIC.
From the Lansing State Journal:
Spartan Motors Inc. is overhauling its emergency vehicle unit, teaming up with European companies and renaming the division in a bid to bolster the business.
The specialty vehicle and chassis maker, which makes fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, performs defense subcontracting work and produces commercial delivery vehicles, said Tuesday it has renamed its former Crimson-Fire division Spartan ERV and named former division Vice President Dennis Schneider to head the unit and Spartan Chassis. Spartan also outlined other strategies that have been six months in the making.
Spartan ERV is teaming up with Gimaex, a French emergency response company to share technology and help expand in the U.S. and global markets, Schneider said.
