Apparently, 16 states, 2 climate organizations, and the UAW are suing USPS to stop it from getting new delivery trucks. Quote While the new vehicles would improve working conditions for USPS staff considerably by including air conditioning and heating, improved ergonomics, and advanced vehicle safety technology including air bags and 360-degree cameras, they would not provide significant improvements in fuel consumption or carbon emissions . USPS' existing fleet averages 8.2 miles per gallon; the new trucks would return an average of 8.6 mpg. The EPA challenged the move in February. https://autos.yahoo.com/usps-sued-states-climate-orgs-160700437.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=2_15 Everyone can argue about the environmental impacts, but all I see is higher costs of shipping going forward :(
