The USPS has unveiled a new fleet of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles designed by Oshkosh Defense
The Oshkosh Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV) is bringing a major overhaul to the USPS fleet with a host of new features designed for efficiency, safety, and future adaptability. Unlike the aging Grumman LLVs, the NGDV offers both gasoline-powered and battery-electric variants, with options for front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, allowing for more versatility across different delivery routes.
The new truck is significantly larger, providing up to 155 cubic feet of cargo space, making it easier for carriers to handle high mail volumes. Visibility and safety have been vastly improved with a 360-degree camera system, automatic emergency braking, and collision avoidance technology—a huge leap forward from the nearly 40-year-old fleet still in use.
Another game-changer is air conditioning, something mail carriers have never had before in their trucks. The vehicle’s right-hand drive layout remains, but with a higher ceiling, allowing carriers to stand while sorting mail inside.
