Also, a wind diffuser can be fitted at the back of the vehicle to further improve aerodynamic efficiency...  Other options allow for the installation of load restraints, reversing cameras and Restfall 'working at height' safety equipment...  In addition to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the Icon is already compatible with VW's Crafter and Bevan says it will be adapted for other vehicle models, including the Ford Transit...  (Image: Revolutionary Luton body set for Iconic truck status)
