It is going to take some time to get used to this vehicle. Imagine RV conversion. Cleaning the windshield would be a task. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictu...se-reveal-next-generation-delivery-vehicle/2/

Personally, I have no trouble with it at all. This is a purpose built vehicle, not for anyone but the post office and how they will use it. How it looks are completely irrelevant, I think. It is like saying and M1 tank looks bad and needs chrome bumpers, when appearance is the last thing they need to worry about.
I don’t understand why windshield is so high, functionally doesn’t have to be so high and in hot weather it would be painful. Hopefully top mounted windshield wipers will wipe right areas, the line-of-sight areas.
Driver can stand up directly from the seat to walk into the rear instead of crouching while in the cab. Makes plenty of sense to me.
I agree regarding the high cab, but why windshield. Sprinters have high cab but reasonable windshields. In the tradeoff if visibility while standing up versus sun exposure I would vote for less heat. UPS panel vans have low windshields.
Too bad USPS didn’t select this British UPS future van design, also high
windshield but looks like it’s top portion is blocked.
It may be the requirement that they be able to have them gas or electric that eliminates a flat nose like the Euro one. Room for an engine without intruding on the cab. I wonder if it would get a boxer engine, being so low.
Could be 4 inline heavily tilted like in this old VW replacing a boxer.
