Interesting website, its worth looking on the Who We Are section..

Slightly late edit but I reckon even more interesting would be a Who Funds Us section.

All they do is post links/articles from other websites...It doesn't matter who they are or who funds them. Already went through this with one muppet who always claims the website isn't credible.. & who promptly STFU about it after I pointed out he'd posted a story that was also shared on CCD...

Maybe try this link:

Even even more interesting would be you telling us which parts of the article are wrong. (If you think it's wrong.)

The trucks mentioned in the article are being made by Oshkosh. The US Postal Service was give $3bn in 2023 to modernise it's vehicle fleet, Oshkosh was one of several contractors involved, with their role being to design and build a new truck for delivery in 2025. From the five minutes I spent researching I think the 93 vehicles delivered so far are pre production test trucks. So far the project looks on track however, there's a good chance Trump will have some input with anything from cancelling the project, moving parts of it to fossil fuel vehicles and rolling back Bidens EV incentive possible.

Or handing the project/$ billions over to President Musk/Tesla. :lol:

Yes, that's better. Attack the message, not the messenger. :)
