Not really, the current Grumman’s have well exceeded their service life and are bleeding the Postal Service in maintenance costs. It is undisputed a new vehicle is needed.
How does replacing 20+ yr old vehicles have anything to do with being broke?
The fact is, the USPS appears to be in financial trouble because Congress requires them to include retirement liabilities on their account sheet (unlike every other Federal Agency which do not have to carry those benefits in their budgets) and that they have been required to amortize 50 years of that liability in a 20 year period. And then they refuse to let them raise postal rates sufficiently to balance the ledger. If the Post Office was allowed to manage itself on an equal footing with other Agencies, this “going broke” thing would not be an issue.
With their new hyper car the transmission doesn’t have a reverse gear. Instead it uses the electric motor for the front drive to “push” the car backwards when you put in reverse.
Ferrari brags that it reduces the weight of the transmission by 15 pounds. All that engineering for 15 pounds.
