What are mail trucks called

Mail trucks are commonly referred to as "mail vans" or "post office vehicles." However, the official term used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) is "delivery vehicles."

In the past, mail trucks were often referred to as "mail wagons" or "mail carts," especially in the early days of postal service. Today, the USPS uses a variety of vehicles to deliver mail and packages, including:

1. Grumman LLV (Long Life Vehicle): A mail truck designed specifically for the USPS, which has been in use since the 1980s.
2. Ford Transit: A popular mail truck used by the USPS, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency.
3. Chevrolet Express: Another popular mail truck used by the USPS, known for its durability and cargo capacity.
4. Electric vehicles: The USPS is also testing and deploying electric vehicles, such as the Ford E-Transit, to reduce its carbon footprint and operating costs.

So, while "mail truck" is a common term, the USPS and other postal services use a variety of terms to refer to their delivery vehicles.
