Arrival Royal Mail Van, 2017. Royal Mail has revealed a new all-electric autonomous-capable van that will go into service this week. Sourced from UK-based light commercial automaker, Arrival, the vans have a range of 100 miles. An initial fleet of 9 electric vans in three different sizes – 3.5-tonne (pictured), 6.0-tonne and 7.0-tonne – will be supplied to Royal Mail as part of a trial with the rollout limited to London and surrounding areas
I discovered today that the Deutsche Post, instead, designed and built its own electric truck, the StreetScooter (apparently because no German automaker considered it a lucrative market) and it’s been so successful that they spun out a company to make more, and they are selling like hotcakes.
I just find the Post emblem instead of the brand logo pretty fun.
