Cold and electric madness: Post deliverers fight for survival!

Cold and electric madness: Post deliverers fight for survival!

A heated debate unfolds in the postal service, since the deliverers are faced with the challenging choice, either warm up or not to successfully cope with their delivery tours. Postal agency Franz Doppelhofer describes the precarious circumstances under which many of his colleagues work: "We already have a range problem with electric vehicles, especially with older electric vehicles." This indicates an alarming development in which the range of vehicles, especially in rural areas, which require numerous stops, is often not sufficient. Doppelhofer further explains that this winter you have to save electricity when heating and using amenities such as seat heating, since an interruption of the delivery tour for charging is not possible.

Problems with electric delivery vehicles

The situation is also complicated by the delays in the delivery of new electric vehicles. The older models from European production reach their limits, especially on long and hilly tours. Although the newly reprimanded, Chinese vehicles promise better performance, availability lags behind. "The delivery times of the vehicles last, especially now at the Chinese. Of course you have residues until they are delivered," complains Doppelhofer. It remains to be seen whether the situation will improve with the arrival of new models in the near future.

In addition to the problem in the postal service, a current study examines the relationships between economic growth and various influencing factors. This analysis, based on the Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates (BACE) method, shows that under 32 different variables, the strongest evidence of a long -term growth is a high real GDP per capita. These results can be considered important indications of economic decisions, as reported. reported.
