Which Chassis is used on these commercial trucks?

[DavidM]

Having become attuned to some of the various complete van, cutaway or stripped chassis that are used on Class A, B and Cs, I got to wondering which chassis and engine are used on these local delivery trucks:

Amazon
UPS
FedEx

Why do I/we want to know? These are huge, sophisticated companies and know how to get the best value in their trucks. Their local delivery trucks fit the size and type of chassis needed in RVs. So their choice might be relevant to our buying and RV.

I can answer the first- the Mercedes Sprinter high clearance van. Not sure if it is the long or short wheelbase version. Others?

I thought that UPS was using a custom chassis not one that is commercially available?

Pretty sure that Amazon and UPS have custom designed trucks and I'd guess that Fedex does as well. Though Amazon did place an order for 20,000 Sprint Vans and it was enough to move Sprinter production from Germany to North Charleston, S.C.

UPDATE: According to Google for UPS Trucks:

Morgan Olson (Grumman Olson), Union City Body, and Utilimaster manufacture the bodies for UPS delivery vans. While older vehicles were based on Ford or General Motors P-chassis, vehicles manufactured since the 1990s are based on Navistar, Freightliner, or Workhorse chassis.

I also saw this tidbit:

Why can't you buy a UPS truck?
It's the infamous UPS Package Car, and you can't have it. Really, you can't. The shipping company has a policy strictly prohibiting the resale of their trucks. Not only do they not sell them, but they make it nearly impossible for an old truck to slip back to the streets in full-UPS livery.Jul 6, 2018

I Don't Care How Rich You Are, You Can't Buy A UPS Truck

Here's FedEx trucks:

FedEx Express has recently purchased 1,900 lightweight, composite-body Reach vehicles from Utilimaster, a division of Spartan Motors. These will join the 400 Reach vehicles already in service, giving FedEx Express the largest lightweight, composite-body vehicle fleet in the industry, with approximately 2,300 vehicles.
