The USPS plans to buy 6 battery-electric Canoo vehicles.

“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,” said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman, and CEO of Canoo.
Canoo currently produces vehicles out of its Oklahoma City-based plant.
The State of Oklahoma has a contract with the company to produce vehicles for the state.
Last month, the first three made-in-Oklahoma Canoo vehicles were added to the state's fleet.
