Based on an independent productivity study done by Dr. John McIntyre, PhD from Georgia Tech comparing the omnivan® to a step van: 1) The total unloading time of the 2) The elemental beverage unloading time for the omnivan® was lower than a step van. 3) The elemental beverage movement loading time of the omnivan® was lower than the step van. 4) The capacity of the omnivan® was significantly greater than the step van's capacity. 5) Product accessibility of the omnivan® was superior to the step van.

A large bottling company did their own comparison study and found that omnivan® was a good alternative to bay trucks for full service routes in certain applications. The bottling company made the following observations: 1) Fuel mpg's were higher with the omnivan® saving fuel costs. 2) Due to their smaller size, omnivans were easier to maneuver lowering the risk of an accident. 3) The omnivan® requires no special drivers license and allows the driver more comfort. 4) The initial cost of the omnivan® was lower resulting in a savings in capital expense. The bottling company's study also showed: 1) A 24% increase in productivity using the omnivan® carrying 378 cases plus a collection security safe (which Equipment Innovators also manufacturers). 2) Drivers picked up an average of two stops per day in 12% less time. 3) Overtime hours were reduced by 12% and driver morale and efficiency increased with the omnivan®.
