in uk all the services drive boring old Transits or whatever. At least Royal Mail have some respect for their Postman Pat legacy and paint their vans red. But there is one outstanding exception: UPS. I don't even see so many of them around, so i'm not pure why it's economical for them and why only they use custom vans, but i respect them for that.
- kbenson 6y agoPossibly because as a global company, it's easier for them to have shared vehicles and parts across their entire service area (most the world). They can probably just fly the vans/trucks and parts in wherever they are needed, since they run their own fleet of (very large) planes as well.
- gsnedders 6y agoAt least the majority I see around here are relatively standard European chassis-cabs (recently Mercedes-Benz Sprinter) with a custom body. While yes, that's more custom than just having a custom fitting inside a van, it's much less extreme than a custom vehicle.
- marshmallow_12 6y agoTo my untrained eye, they look bespoke, i will just take your word for it that only the body is custom. thanks.
- AnssiH 6y agoWell, UPS vehicles look regular here: https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/5543516_Ag-wE02mDpJrzMMyZgkqQX66VT_5f2ceUFOiR8Fz3Fk.jpg https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/600x600/5543516_Ag-wE02m... But I guess these don't really count as these are suncontractor vehicles...
- marshmallow_12 6y agothose are the wrong ones.
