The estimate comes from an environmental impact statement USPS released last week. Earlier estimates under DeJoy saw USPS claiming they would not commit to more than ten per cent of the fleet. “The Proposed Action is the most achievable given the Postal Service’s financial condition,” USPS said in the statement. In November, the Biden administration nominated two members to join the Postal Service’s board of governors, which has the authority to remove DeJoy from his position. In September last year, Workhorse withdrew its complaint filed in June with the United States Supreme Court against the United States Postal Service’s fleet replacement contract award.
