USPS Electric Fleet: Slow Progress, Wasted Funds

Despite $3 billion in funding, USPSs electric mail fleet rollout stalls, with only 612 vehicles in service, far short of expectations. Oshkosh, the contractor, has produced just 362 vehicles in 100 days, averaging 3-4 per day. Critics, like Senator Joni Ernst, call it a waste, with only 15 locations nationwide using these vehicles. The Postal Service maintains that none of the allocated funds can be returned, despite the limited rollout and unsuitable vehicles for most mail routes. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
