The USPS is serious about going green. From reducing energy use to using fuel efficient vehicles to operating greener facilities, the Postal Service is taking the challenge of sustainability head-on. One part of their greening mission, using fuel efficient vehicles, recently caught our attention. That’s because the USPS is now using a fully-electric vehicle to deliver mail.
The T3 electric vehicle is currently being used in Florida, California and Arizona on a “trial basis.” The T3 is a three-wheeled vehicle that will travel 40 miles on one charge, has no emissions and only costs $.02 per mile to operate. Though the vehicle is not currently in wide use, with statistics like those, we wouldn’t be surprised to see one in our neighborhood soon.
