Vehicles are an essential part of our operations. With an aging fleet and increasing delivery points, we’re planning for the next generation delivery vehicle. In 2015, the Postal Service began preliminary steps to inform prospective suppliers about USPS requirements and begin the process to develop a prototype that addresses new safety related technologies, ergonomics, delivery efficiency improvements, fuel efficiency and emissions reductions, and greatly improves on the current Long Life Vehicles purchased between 1987 and 1994. With deployment of the next generation vehicles still several years away, we’re actively making investments to modernize our current fleet.
