Look at how the wheel arch cladding gracefully flows into the extensions at the rear of the truck that make the back door recessed. I bet this thing gets 1 whole mpg better than the old school FedEx truck next t o it! Now if only they could learn to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ...

Also the recessed rear door and smoother-looking step/loading floor. Hey, even if it’s 0.25mpg when spread across a fleet their size, that adds up.
Now the thing I don’t understand is why these local delivery trucks aren’t EVs.

Those aero tricks look like they only make a significant impact over 40mph. How often do those trucks break that spe ed?
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

EVs make so much sense for delivering mail in cities, and suburbs. How much time does a mail truck just sit there running while deliveries are made?

If more of the truck is plastic that could be weight saving too. That could help stop and go, the real issues with this kind of rig

Staffing to repair large electric vehicles on a large scale does not exist. Also, long term reliability a nd known variable write offs are king.
EV would be awesome but even the mild hybrid garbage trucks and public buses are still in they’re early adoption phases mileage wise.
For now nickels add up to dollars. Those little aero tweaks seem robust enough to hold up over the 15ish year life cycle.
