The USPS expects to deliver about 27,000 new vehicles to local post offices this year. In total, more than 60,000 delivery trucks will replace the aging vehicles over the next 10 years.
The new mail trucks, built by Oshkosh Defense in South Carolina, are roomier and have air conditioning. They also have safety features such as 360-degree cameras and blind spot monitoring.
A vast majority of the new trucks are electric models. The postmaster general has announced that starting in 2026, the Postal Service will go to all electric when it comes to new purchases.
A deal with the Biden administration provided an additional $3 billion for USPS to make upgrades to its mail network. Some of that funding will be used to set up charging stations for the new delivery vehicles.
