USPS doubles number of EV delivery trucks in initial order – By Federal Times Newsroom (Federal Times) / March 28, 2022
One in five of the first batch of next-generation U.S. Postal Service delivery vehicles will be electric-powered, officials said Thursday.
The Postal Service formally placed its initial $2.98 billion order for 50,000 vehicles with at least 10,019 of them being battery-electric vehicles. That represents a doubling of electric vehicles from the initial plan. The first of the new vehicles are expected to be on delivery routes by late next year.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said the Postal Service made good on its pledge to accelerate purchases of electric vehicles based on financial outlook and strategic considerations.
