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.
It’s a trial. That’s how this works. When the USPS started out with the LLV, they also only bought a small number initially and tested them. If the Canoo performs well in initial testing, they might end up purchasing more.
That makes much more sense. I should have guessed. Well, thanks for the explanation!
