Workhorse Group Inc. faces a tough road to overturn its loss of a $6 billion contract award to build trucks for the U.S. Postal Service due to regulations designed to protect the integrity of government bidding and keep politics out.
The company itself forecast a “prolonged process” Thursday as it considers challenging Oshkosh Corp.’s win in the contest to build a next-generation fleet to replace the Postal Service’s decrepit, polluting mail trucks.
