The United States Postal Service Orders 9,250 Ford E-Transit Vans

Efforts to preserve the environment come in all forms and sizes, and in the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) case, a significant caravan of Ford E-Transit vans. On February 28, 2023, USPS announced its electrification strategies. America’s most trusted mail carrier service ordered a countrywide fleet of the Next-Generation Delivery vehicles, including 9,250 E-Transit vans. 

“Ford is proud to support the United States Postal Service in delivering a more sustainable future for America by electrifying their fleet with over 9,200 E-Transit vans through the end of 2024. Built by our dedicated UAW workforce at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, vehicles will be operated by the largest electric fleet in the country, serving communities on every street corner. Together with USPS, we are committing to cleaner air and a better planet.” 

-Ford President and CEO, Jim Farley 

It’s common for most enthusiasts to overlook the significance of the American automaker’s Transit van, mainly because of its commercial distinction. Millions of fleet managers and small business owners recognize the Ford Transit or E-Transit as a harder worker, surpassing the passion of the employee of the month. However, the Blue Oval’s gas-engined and electric workhorse is obtainable in multiple body styles. For example, the Transit may reveal an extensive high roof with so much room Ford enthusiasts may carry packages, tools, or cargo. 

The 2023 Ford Transit will make room for the all-new Trail trim, the immaculate motorhome. Additionally, the robust adventurer presents two gasoline-powered engine options: the turbocharged EcoBoost V6 or the naturally aspirated V6. Furthermore, adventure-seeking enthusiasts can choose between rear-wheel (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). 

Ford Transit’s competitors include the RamProMaster and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, but let it be known the Blue-logo stamped van offers a realistic performance. Concerning technology, all Ford Transit models come standardly equipped with driver-assistance features such as the Ford Sync 4 infotainment system. The Ford Sync 4 welcomes over-the-air updates (OTA) and can attain the available 12.0-inch infotainment screen.
