Overview

The Strykr, In Plain Terms

The Strykr puts real shuttle capability in a van-sized footprint. It drives like the Ford Transit your team already knows, parks where full-size buses can’t, and most operators can run it without CDL drivers.

It’s the right answer for hotels and parking operations, senior living errand routes, church groups, and anyone who needs 14 seats and luggage room without stepping up to a cutaway bus.
