FCA Fleet Operations vice president Tim Kuniskis said: "While each and every one of our fleet customers is important to us, none command our attention like USPS.

"I can't think of another more mission-critical service than literally delivering the goods of our nation on a daily basis, and we are honored that USPS chose the Ram ProMaster to help them meet their challenging duty."

The USPS still uses Grumman LLV vehicle, which is specifically designed for the US postal service.

The vehicle's body and final assembly is done by Grumman and the 2.2L I-4 iron block/aluminum head engine is manufactured by General Motors.
