USPS debuts long-awaited new mail truck
The Postal Service’s new delivery vehicles aren’t going to win a beauty contest. They're tall and ungainly, with outsize windshields, thick bumpers and duck-bill hoods. But they're getting rave reviews from letter carriers accustomed to cantankerous older vehicles. The first handful of the so-called Next Generation Delivery Vehicles rolled out in August in Athens, Georgia. Within a few years, the fleet will have grown to 60,000, most of them electric models. The next-gen vehicles will serve as the Postal Service’s primary delivery truck on routes from Maine to Hawaii.
