USPS
While the contract that was recently awarded to Oshkosh Defense came at the end of a five-year search, it still might not be the end of the road.
Two Democrats from Ohio and one from California want to investigate how Oshkosh was chosen and why only 10 percent of the new mail trucks might be electric.
The USPS said it would like to increase that 10 percent number, but it
more money from Congress to make that happen.
The five-year search for a new, electric U.S. Postal Service van might not be completely over just yet. While the USPS made a decision last month to award a $482 million contract to Oshkosh Defense for the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV), questions about the way the company was selected as well as about how the new vehicles will fit into the federal government's push for all-electric vehicles in its fleet leave a few questions unanswered.
