This is the first holiday season the agency’s all-electric next-generation delivery vehicles (NGDV) will be used.
According to the Federal News Network, the vehicles have twice the cargo capacity of the familiar 30-year-old model most widely used by delivery drivers.
Electric NGDVs will be on routes in Athens, Georgia, and Stockton, California.
