This is the regular-sized mail van that Canada Post uses, and it's called a "step van" because of the ease at which the driver can step in and out of the vehicle due to the low chassis.
This one was photographed parked outside a Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy with a Canada Post counter in the Merivale Market strip mall in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean.
This is actually a subtle Autostitch shot, composed of three source photos, for maximum detail and perspective.

A diminutive Canada Post mail van parked outside Dollar Blitz in the Merivale Market strip mall in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean.
I wasn't sure who made these vans. I thought it might have been Grumman like the larger vans, but then I had a close look at this photo and was rather surprised to see the Chevrolet logo on the hubcaps.
Doing a little research, I found this Adobe Acrobat pdf document from Transport Canada that calls this truck the "Canada Post Solectria-Grumman LLV Electric Postal Delivery Truck". So why does it have Chevy hubcaps, then?
Wikipedia has the answer. The body and final assembly is from Grumman, but General Motors builds the chassis.
