Canoo Reaches Agreement With US Postal Service for Purchase of Electric Vehicles

Canoo Inc., a US advanced mobility company, has announced the US Postal Service (USPS) will purchase 6 battery-electric Canoo vehicles. The Postal Service will take delivery of these six right-hand drive versions of the LDV 190 in Q1 2024.

This deal is part of the USPS’s $40 billion investment strategy to upgrade and improve the organisation's processing, transportation, and delivery networks.

The vehicles for USPS will leverage Canoo’s patented technologies to deliver enhanced functionality, safety, and ergonomics.

The company has developed electric vehicles (EVs) that offer pioneering technologies, unique design, and business model that spans multiple owners across the full lifecycle of the vehicle.

Canoo designed a modular electric platform that is purpose-built to maximise the vehicle interior space and is customisable for all owners in the vehicle lifecycle, to support a wide range of business and consumer applications.

Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman, and CEO of Canoo., says: “The multi-purpose platform with steer-by-wire technology and a unique low-profile suspension system allows for a readily configurable right-hand drive system while maintaining desired roll and ride stability.”

Canoo has teams in California, Texas, Oklahoma, and Michigan.
