The Oshkosh NGDV Is Not the USPS’s First Electric Mail Truck

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening at the United States Postal Service, you likely know that the Grumman LLV is being retired. This iconic mail truck has served the agency for decades, but now it is time for something new. At first, it looked like the Oshkosh NGDV would be USPS’s first electric delivery vehicle. But the Postal Service has also secured a fleet of all-electric mail trucks from Ford.

Is the Postal Service going to electric vehicles?

In order to be more in line with the Biden administration, the USPS is converting a majority of its fleet to EV mail trucks. This process has not been without controversy because when the agency first put in an order for new delivery vehicles from Oshkosh, most of them were to have internal combustion engines.
