Trok ja!
The U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday unveiled a modern replacement for the iconic Grumman LLV mail truck that has been in use since the late 1980s.
The new design consists of a waste-high hood that looks like the front jaw of a duck in front of an extra high windshield.
Oshkosh Defense has been contracted to build between 50,000 and 165,000 of the new trucks over the next ten years – replacing vehicles that have been in service for three decades, USPS said in a statement.
The design of Oshkosh has not been completely finalized, USPS said. The initial order for trucks will cost $ 482 million, and the first vehicles are expected to hit the roads in 2023.
The refurbishment of trucks is part of the Postal Service’s self-service plan to ‘become the preferred delivery service provider for the US public’.
