Us Postal Service Picks Finalist To Build Next-Generation Mail Truck
The United States Postal Service will be getting a special delivery next year. Fifty of them, actually. The USPS has issued contracts to six suppliers to develop and build prototypes for the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle, which will replace the Grumman Long Life Vehicle (LLV) that’s been in use since 1987. Out of the fifteen companies that qualified to submit proposals, the six that were chosen are AM General, Oshkosh, Utilimaster, VT Hackney, Turkish commercial vehicle builder Karsan, and India’s Mahindra, which has a major technical center in Troy, Michigan. None of the designs have been revealed, but the preliminary requirements called for right-hand-drive, sliding curbside doors for driver.
