- The Grumman Long Life Vehicle or LLV is a light transport truck designed for and primarily used by the United States Postal Service. In the United States, it is the most common vehicle used by letter carriers for curbside and residential delivery of mail, replacing the previous standard letter-carrier vehicle, the Jeep DJ-5. It entered service in 1987. The USPS purchased over 100,000 of these vehicles, of which the last was purchased in 1994. A number were also sold to Canada, Mexico, and several other countries. Like the old postal-service Jeep, it features a right-handed driver's position (the opposite of the normal U.S. passenger car left-hand drive) and a large metal tray (able to hold three trays of letter mail) mounted where a passenger seat would normally be. This arrangement positions the driver on the side of the vehicle closest to the curb, enabling the carrier to easily grab sorted mail and place it into mailboxes without having to leave the seat. Other notable features are an exceptionally tight turning radius and a low-geared, 3 speed transmission for hauling heavy cargo. The LLV has a 1,000-pound (450 kg) cargo capacity. The LLV was specifically designed for the United States Postal Service with Grumman winning a contract for production. The main design points of the vehicle in contract competition were serviceability, handling in confined areas, and overall economical operation. As its name suggests, the LLV is easily capable of 20 years of operation. The original design lifespan of the LLV specified by the US Postal Service was 24 years, but in 2009 this was extended to 30 years. The body and final assembly is by Grumman, and the chassis is made by General Motors, with the powerplant (2.5L I-4 TBI "Iron Duke" and, in later production, GM 2.2L I-4 iron block/aluminum head engine), instrument cluster and front suspension similar to those used in the Chevrolet S-10 pickup. The LLV's average EPA fuel economy is 17 mpg (16 city/18 highway). Like other U.S. postal vehicles, they lack license plates, but have a postal service serial number instead.
- Le Grumman LLV est une camionnette postale conçue par l'avionneur américain Grumman. Elle est utilisée par Postes Canada et le service postal des États-Unis. Sa fabrication a débuté en 1986, le Grumman LLV devant remplacer l'ancienne flotte de Jeep DJ-5 de la poste américaine. Le Gruman LLV est le premier véhicule spécialement dédié à la distribution du courrier, et non adapté d'un véhicule de série existant. L'une des particularités du Grumman LLV est la position du conducteur à droite, contraire au sens de la curculation en vigueur au Canada et aux États-Unis, ceci pour faciliter le dépôt du courrier et des colis dans les boîtes aux lettres. Les autres particularités du véhicule sont un très fort angle de braquage, une boîte de vitesses à trois rapports et à faible développement, adapté au transport d'importantes charges. La charge maximale de transport du Grumman LLV est de 1 000 livres, soit environ 450 kilogrammes.
