The United States Postal Service recently selected Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense to build the replacement for its aged LLV mail truck, and the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle was unveiled this week. Despite its mildly dopey look, the long-awaited NGDV is appropriately packed with creature comforts and essential technology. For the first time, mail carriers will get air conditioning, antilock brakes, and a backup camera on their vehicles.
Oshokosh’s new mail truck, available either with a combustion or an all-electric drivetrain, is a vast improvement upon the LLV. But as the consumer car market transitions to zero-emissions vehicles, how many EV units will USPS put into service?
In the wake of McKinsey’s $600 million settlement with states over sales advice it had given drugmakers on opioids, partners at the consulting powerhouse have voted out the firm’s top.
Officials at the U.S. Postal Service held a press conference on Tuesday to announce the agency has awarded a $482 million contract to Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense for a new fleet of vehicles.
