How does the government pick which tank to buy? Or which vehicle the police department buys? And who pays for it all?

  1. If you ever want to look into more high-tech and unique use vehicles, I recommend taking a dive into what the guys at Edison Motors in British Columbia are doing with hybrid Vocational trucks (Logging trucks, oil rig service trucks, etc.)

  2. hey, don’t be mad at the cops for spending so much of our money on new cars! they need them to replace all the ones that they crashed into lamp posts or totaled trying to pit maneuver a pregnant woman on her way to the hospital

  3. Why hate on USPS trucks being EVs?
    That's literally THE BEST use case scenario of EVs.
    Preplanned standard routes, surely under 150mi/day, always back in the same location every night to charge, reduced maintenance.

    I'm not an EV fan boy, but these are the #1 market for EVs

  4. Government contacts are no longer required to go to the lowest bidder. Now they go to the best bidder, so it takes into account how well each bid actually fits the requirements of the contract.

  5. Trump will cancel the USPS truck orders, not just because of electric vehicles, but because he wants to de-fund and shut down the postal service entirely so that his rich board member buddies at UPS and Fed-Ex won't have any competition.

  6. I work for a medium sized municipality. All of our snow plows have other functions in fair weather. We also have trucks that have a multi function roll back that can have a salt spreader, leaf vacuum, dumpster and more. Our street sweepers are the most expensive and mostly commonly broken truck in the fleet. Fire trucks are up there on price but the fire guys take such good care of them that a unit from the 80s looks as clean as a new one.

  7. Can someone please tell me why Tristan decided to model his haircut after the group focus equals lead singer? He can't decide if he's a 1980s future-band leader or the member of the gang from the musical grease.
