EV manufacturer Canoo Inc. recently announced that the U.S. Postal Service will purchase six battery-electric Canoo vehicles.

The Postal Service will take delivery of the six right-hand drive versions of the LDV 190 during the first quarter, according to Canoo.

“The multi-purpose platform with steer-by-wire technology and a unique low-profile suspension system allows for a readily configurable right-hand drive system while maintaining desired roll and ride stability,” said Tony Aquila, investor, executive chairman and CEO of Canoo.

The order is part of the USPS’s $40 billion investment strategy to upgrade and improve the organization’s processing, transportation and delivery networks.
