After many years of looking to get a viable replacement for its current fleet of long-serving Grumman LLV mail trucks, the U.S. Postal Service finally announced on February 23, 2021, that it awarded a multi-billion 10-year contract to Oshkosh Defence (OSK.N) to manufacture a new generation of mail delivery vehicles dubbed “Next Generation Delivery Vehicles” (NGDVs)<\/p>\n
The contract allows for the delivery of 50,000 to 165 000 NGDVs for ten years. The United States Postal Service plans to electrify only 10% of the NGDVs while the remaining whopping 90% will be internal combustion-powered.<\/p>\n
