The Postal Service plans to roll out 106,000 new vehicles by 2028, including 45,000 battery-electric next-generation delivery vehicles and 21,000 commercial-off-the-shelf battery-electric vehicles. So far, more than 35,000 new vehicles are on the road.
Additionally, USPS is upgrading infrastructure at its facilities with the addition of charging stations for the zero-emission electric vehicles, of which over 14,000 have already been purchased.
The new vehicles offer better visibility, ergonomic seating, air conditioning, safety features and user-friendly operations, along with increased cargo capacity to allow more packages to be carried per trip, boosting environmental and operating efficiency.
