Those are pretty interesting looking trucks. The range doesn't seem like much but I guess in an urban environment that might be plenty.

Those look fuckin rad.

Better than the current trucks with Alero headlights

I wonder if that's 150 miles of normal driving, or 150 miles of UPS style driving.

They look cool. Almost like something out of a Pixar movie.

They look like mini-buses.  Kinda cool.

"As with all electric vehicles, they have zero emissions."

Depends where you start counting. In any case, very cool and very smart. Hopefully UPS is charging these with renewable energy.

For real. Those dudes go haaaaaaam.

Its not errant, it is their telephone number.

Shouldn't there be a possessive in Woodmans as well?

[12,000 RPM]

Damn they are trolling hard

Unless the name is actually "Woodmans."

Would still require a possessive, as it's their farm/dairy.

Would it? I mean "Woodmen Dairy" sounds alright to me.

Hell, why am I defending a defunct British milkman anyways?


edit; OK. Not defunct. http://www.woodmandsdairy.com  Same phone number too

Car&Driver nailed it in their description:

Sometimes a little bit of design can make all the difference. That's shaping up to be the case for delivery trucks from the U.K. company Arrival, which channel just the right amount of whimsical character to be noticed but not so much as to be laughed at.

Quite charming in their own why.

Because this is the 'SPIN, and everyone one is supposed to be contrarian, no matter how ridiculous the argument's get.

You did that on purpose you limey bastard.

There's a local bad credit/no credit/no problem car dealership here called "US Auto's."  Drives me nuts.

The apostrophe there is appropriate. They take ownership of people's lives upon signing. As in "if you buy from us, your life = US Auto's"
