The new mail truck program started in 2015 before Dejoy started in 2020. Contracts for prototypes were awarded in 2016, testing and evaluation started in 2017, and the production contract was signed in 2021. I wouldn't credit Dejoy too much.
- tocs3 2y agoThanks for the info. I thought it was a little strange that he did this (Trump appointee, conflict of interest, EVs). We will see what the future brings.
- MBCook 2y agoLike the article said, the LLVs are 12 years past service life and catching on fire. Gotta do something. And there's no way he'd get away with doing nothing. So something had to happen. I'd still expect he tried to slow-walk it somehow and the no-EV thing seemed very politically motivated.
