An electric truck development was undertaken to prepare for the markets of the 1980's. Grumman is using its aluminum truck bodies technology to create a light weight vehicle. A redesigned unitized, all aluminum body and a new propulsion system resulted in the desired vehicle. The vehicle meets the requirements of the US Postal Service and the DOE Demonstration program. The unitized chassisless structure is designed to take major driving loads. Design features and performance characteristics are enumerated. Safety and service considerations have been incorporated into the vehicle.
