The Postal Service's plan to procure 60,000 Next Generation Delivery Vehicles faced significant manufacturing delays, with only 93 electric trucks delivered out of the expected 3,000, primarily due to struggles in engineering and production.
Engineers faced significant hurdles with the electric NGDVs, particularly in calibrating airbags and managing water leaks, which have severely impacted the projected delivery timelines and production goals.
Reportedly, Oshkosh's factory could only produce one truck a day, falling drastically short of the anticipated production rate, highlighting a troubling inefficiency in their manufacturing process.
Despite assurances of commitment from Oshkosh, internal struggles and communication breakdowns within the company cast doubt on the feasibility of meeting the Postal Service's delivery expectations and deadlines.
