I perfectly know about the amazing heritage of Grumman, plus the issues that the LLV being long in the tooth is causing to the Post Office, including not being appropriate for all weathers. A mixed bag, good and bad.

But we are certainly not talking about the LLVs, we are talking about the either incredible incompetence of assigning the contract to Oskosh or also quite surprising ammount of corruption in doing so.
I suggest you read about how they won the contract for electric vehicles while not delivering them and increased the weight to avoid minimum efficiency etc etc. All on Transits that could have been bought for a fraction of the cost.

But this is UpliftingNews, so the good news is, new contracts will be 100% electric, .
