If an $8 billion plan is pushed in Congress.
While the Ford F-150 is America's workhorse, the Grumman Long Life Vehicle is arguably even tougher. The Grumman LLV, best known as the United States Postal Service mail truck since 1987, was specifically designed to ensure more than two decades on the road. Having left production in 1994, the LLV has served honorably and is due for a replacement. Earlier this year, the USPS announced a new electric replacement for the Grumman LLV called the Oshkosh Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV).
Like the recently-announced Ford e-Transit, the NGDV is a fully electric delivery van. The vehicle will cost less than $35,000 and drive at least 70 miles on a full charge. Switching to an all-electric fleet will incur a hefty price tag, but according to The Washington Post, House Democrats want to give the USPS some assistance.
