The Postal Service is planning to buy 180,000 new vehicles over the next three years. It wants those new trucks to have better safety equipment and fuel mileage than the current fleet. Mail-carriers driving the new trucks will need more room, with parcel business up 20 percent over the past five years. Steve Burns is chief executive officer at Workhorse Group, Inc. That’s one of several companies bidding on the new Postal truck. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to elaborate on his company’s design, which includes a drone to lighten the load.
