Trump may force US Postal Service to abandon electric trucks and switch to gasoline models
Cutting off contracts the Postal Service receives during a Biden presidency could create legal challenges for the Trump administration go through Brad Anderson 19 hours ago Last year, Congress provided $3 billion to the USPS to electrify its vehicles and install 14,000 chargers. Ford and Oshkosh plan to deliver thousands of electric vehicles to the U.S. Postal Service over the next few years. Some analysts predict Trump will push to add more ICE vehicles to the new USPS fleet. As Donald Trump prepares to return to the Oval Office next month, the electrification of the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) fleet is in the spotlight. Reports suggest the incoming administration may consider canceling a multibillion-dollar electric vehicle contract, potentially undermining years of progress in modernizing and decarbonizing the U.S. Postal Service's aging delivery trucks.

This 1948 Snowmobile May Be the Coolest Postal Vehicle Ever
A 1948 snowmobile used by the U.S. Postal Service will go up for auction next week. This airplane-inspired artifact features three skis and a rear-mounted propeller. This particular model is reportedly delivering mail in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

While it's a vast improvement over the Grumman LLV, the model looks like it was designed by someone who ate too many crayons as a kid. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); That's certainly not the case with this 1948 CallAir YC4-2 snowmobile, which is undoubtedly one of the coolest mail delivery vehicles the Postal Service has ever used. As the CallAir Museum points out, the snowmobile was the precursor to the snowmobile, an improved version of the company's aircraft. MORE: Pininfarina's quirky NSU Ro…
