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.
The Federal News Network reported that USPS officials told reporters in a recent call that a nationwide overhaul of its facilities will allow the agency to handle up to 60 million packages a day this holiday season, which would surpass previous records.
