Kerala's postman is all set for a makeover. Come April, he will switch from his usual mode of service - walking and cycling - to riding an electric car for speed post delivery.The Kerala Postal Service (KPS) has tied up with Bangalore-based Reva Electric Car Company (RECC) Ltd to use the indigenous car in Thiruvananthapuram. Three customised electric cars were delivered to KPS Wednesday. Painted in the post office red colour, the cars will cover 60 km daily and carry 70 kg of load (articles) with a driver and postman in tow."The Indian Postal Service (IPS) is the most widely distributed post office system in the world. The emission free battery operated vehicles will enable the postman to improve the quality of service and become efficient," Reva chairman S.K. Maini said on the sidelines of a national conference of postal circles here Wednesday. (Source:ChennaiVision)
