New USPS Delivery Vehicle

Looks like more visibility.
What's powering these? Still gas, or are they at least hybrid?
gas or electric!?
I think it's okay, though?! It at least looks practical, which is what you want from your local USPS delivery vehicle.
The OG LLVs were probably also divisive when they were first introduced. We'll get used to these new ones soon enough.

My first thought was that it looked like a car out of a CG kids movie or something.
Looks like pure function over form... which is good with me, as it's efficient/effective use of tax dollars. Looks to be designed to maximize fuel efficiency, drivability, and visibility but still have the cargo space of a delivery van delivering a higher percentage of parcels, in addition to mail.
Obviously it's goofy-looking, but in a utilitarian way that I kind of like. Better forward visibility and a lower front-end should both reduce instances of collisions, and make any collisions with pedestrians less deadly. And the lower seat and beltline heights should make things more convenient for the carriers in various ways.
Shame they didn't commit to all-electric—looks like this has options for both electric and IC drivetrains, with no information about what the mix will be in their fleet.

if it's functional then good, don't care about looks. visibility is great i imagine. time to buy a decommissioned mail truck and make a sick mardi gras float for next year
It looks kinda like that one European car that shows up in the "terrible car design" threads that pop up on ERA once in a while.
Someone posted an article about this a while back, but who is manufacturing the electric delivery vans? Was it Rivian?
A Car Guy I follow on Twitter has noted some similarities between this new USPS vehicle and the Daihatsu Mira van.
I was about to say it looks like that ugly ass car that gets posted on horrible car design threads.
It's like baby bus for packages, I dig it.
Kind of pissed they aren't electric, though. They better be hybrids at least.

Seems to be loaded with features
I'm sure the Drivers who actually have to use it, are excited about it.
