Amazon i started . to use Rivian Electric Vans to deliver packages in the United States of America. Rivian is a relatively young car brand: it was born as a competitor of Tesla and exclusively produces electric cars.
Currently in the catalog it has only two vehicles: the Rivian R1S and R1T. The company also designed a commercial vehicle, an electric van for businesses. Amazon, which owns about 18% of its shares, is the first and largest customer of the Rivian.
Amazon has booked 100,000 Rivian electric vans. In the future, the vans will not only be used in the United States, but will also be exported to the rest of the world. The zero-emission fleet is one of the pillars of Amazon’s strategy to achieve so-called carbon neutrality by 2040.
Amazon is putting Rivian vans in a handful of U.S. metropolitan cities for now: Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Nashville, Tennessee, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis.
Amazon has announced that it will bring thousands of electric vans on the road by the end of 2022, aiming to cover at least 100 different cities. By 2030, the fleet of all-electric vans will reach 100,000 units.
Fighting the effects of climate change requires constant innovation, followed by major actions. Amazon will partner with several companies that share its mission and passion to invent new ways to minimize our impact on the environment.
announced the CEO of Amazon, Andy Jassy.
