May I ask what’s the difference between the green & red boxes? Is one for domestic, the other for international?

Ours have light blue colouring
Sometimes they use bikes in cities, or those funny little vehicles. I couldn’t find photo of them, but they look exactly like Norway has (few posts above), but are light blue. I often see them when I do my work route at city.
I live in rural area so my mail comes in car like this. Some of them are electric cars so you never heard them coming and on holiday weeks I have to stalk for them from window.
Then they also have lot of different size of trucks, all light blue so it is easy to spot them in traffic. Sometimes they even use the older vehicles that are yellow (the postal service used yellow colour before they re-organized as PostNord), but that is more rare and I think I have witnessed that only twice so far.
I am not exactly sure because I remember very little from the time I lived in Denmark (got memory loss from burnout 
) but I think the mail service cars might look like this also there. But that is more like a good attempt of guessing at this point.

Here they normally use the small electric vehicles you mentioned, but lately they used the old yellow cars sometimes. I guess, it was because there was too much snow for the small ones.

Yes, the green ones are for domestic use. The red ones for international mail and express mail.

To add to @AlenKa_NO 's post, Norwegian mail carriers also use electric hand trolleys to deliver mail in city centers.

I think Portugal is missing in this list 
Let’s fix this!!! 
In big cities mail is delivered by foot or by a bicycle:
or even this new and futuristic electric vehicles:
In suburbs or smaller cities, mail is delivered by motorcycle:
And finally this is how mail travels from distribution centers to all country:

I like this video of how the USPS works as it shows a lot of the sorting station processes for the mail.

Royal Mail in the UK as just started using drones in some more remote areas. I can see the appeal, but I’d sure rather a person delivered my mail and had a good job delivering it than a drone. Plus governments are going to have to regulate drone traffic or we’re going to have too many of them flying all over the place & I’m not keen on that at all.

And this happened in Canada last year - there are now 40 trucks with this amazing design in cities across the country. Part of the design was originally done as a special stamp to thank postal workers for their great service in 2020.

How does the mail delivery car look like where you’re from??
Here in the U.S. this is how the mail delivering cars look like they’re called the Grumman Long Life Vehicle made in Montgomery, Pennsylvania.
However, USPS says that they plan to eventually replace the current aging fleet of vehicles for newer environmentally better ones. It’s picture is under the current mail car below.
