Ford Powered USPS Delivery Van Getting Its Own Diecast

Following years of delays, the first batch of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDV) – designed and built by Oshkosh Defense – are starting to land at various United States Postal Service (USPS) locations, replacing its ages-old fleet of Grumman Long Life Vehicles (LLV). Thus far, these oddly-shaped machines are winning over mail carriers thanks to their modern conveniences, which the old LLVs lacked entirely, as well as copious amounts of space inside that rather tall cabin so they can stand up with no problem. These new USPS mail carriers utilize a host of Ford components as well, and now, the NGDV is even getting its own diecast, too.

Special delivery, but make it diecast! We’re excited to release the USPS Next Generation Delivery Van with exceptional detailing.

The new NGDV diecast comes to us from a familiar source – Greenlight Collectibles – which has churned out a large number of tiny Blue Oval models in recent years. The 1:64 scale model will reportedly feature “exceptional detailing” and is currently slated to launch in the first quarter of 2025. It’ll join a bunch of other diecasts from Ford as well, including a 1:64 version of the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT police pilot vehicle, the Garbage Pail Kids inspired 1969 Ford Bronco “Super Snotty,” and the Mach-E utilized by the FBI Police, to name just a few.

Interestingly, the NGDV features a large number of Ford-derived parts, as Ford Authority previously reported. That list includes its 2.0L I-4 powerplant, along with transmissions, suspension parts, and various other bits and pieces such as the steering wheel present in models like the Ford Bronco Sport, Ford Escape, and Ford Maverick, along with the familiar rotary dial shifter, windshield wiper stalk, and turn signal stalk. Additionally, the instrument cluster looks just like the one present in a number of vehicles such as the Maverick and Escape, too.
