“The newly acquired postal vehicles will beef up the e-commerce and logistics delivery business of the postal service. With these brand new trucks, there is a bigger chance and opportunity for PHLPost to enter the e-commerce and logistics market this year”, he said.
In addition to its existing mail vans, these new vehicles will allow PHLPost to improve the delivery service and ensure seamless handling and delivery of goods it provides to customers.
