Truck yes!
The US Postal Service on Tuesday unveiled a modern replacement for the iconic Grumman LLV mail truck that has been in use since the late 1980s.
The new design consists of a waste-high front hood that resembles a duck’s beak for an extra high windshield.
Oshkosh Defense has been contracted to build between 50,000 and 165,000 of the new trucks over the next 10 years – replacing vehicles that have been in use for three decades, USPS said in a statement.
Oshkosh’s design is not yet fully completed, USPS said. The first truck order will cost $ 482 million, and the first vehicles are expected to hit the road in 2023.
The truck’s revamp is part of the Postal Service’s self-proclaimed “plan” to become “the preferred supplier for the American public.”
