Electric van manufacturer Canoo announced a highly visible deal with the United States Postal Service (USPS), which will see the USPS acquire a handful of right-hand drive versions of the company’s LDV 190 delivery van.

Canoo announced that the USPS will purchase six (6) battery-electric Canoo vehicles. In its official press release, the company said that it was “honored” to participate in the post office’s evaluation of potential suppliers as the USPS moves towards the “groundbreaking electrification and modernization” of its national delivery fleet.

    Their other van is better looking, same front end, and a nearly identical rear end, but less capacity. It’s kinda odd that USPS are going with these as I think the standard van is big enough.

      I’ve read that in many countries, postal services are looking for larger vehicles due to how much more packages they are delivering these days.
