It seems that Rivian is fast approaching mass production of its electric vans which will then be used by Amazon for its activities; delivery. As known, the American manufacturer is not only working on the R1T pickup and the R1S SUV but also on specific battery-powered vans. In 2019, the ecommerce giant invest & igrave; 700 million dollars in Rivian and announcements & ograve; shortly after also having agreed a supply of 100 thousand electric vans by 2030. The first 10 thousand should be delivered in 2022.
FEW DETAILS ON THE SPECIFICATIONS
these means have already begun; for a while of time in some cities & agrave; American cities like Los Angeles (target 16 American cities by 2021). Rivian's CEO, RJ Scaringe , over the last few weeks he has shared some pictures of the construction phases of the vans through his social channels. The latest tweet a few days ago showed 8 vehicles already ready. All this would therefore suggest that development is continuing as per schedule and that the American manufacturer is increasingly more and more; close to mass production or at least a beta phase.

There is a lot of curiosity; to discover more up close these electric vans. Nothing specific is; been told about powertrains. It is only known that these vehicles will have an autonomy of up to 240 km even if versions with different distances will be proposed. Surely one should not expect very large capacity battery packs; given the purpose for which these vehicles were created. Is it possible that over time something more will be said; from the point of view of powertrain specifications.
For the moment, Amazon and Rivian have only said something about aspects such as safety, technology and practicality; in use. For example, the vans will have advanced ADAS systems, cameras positioned outside that allow for a 360-degree view and obviously integration with the services offered by Alexa . Amazon's plan to make its fleet of delivery vehicles electric is one of the most important parts; important of the & quot; Climate Pledge & quot; in the context of which the American company has promised to reach the goal of zero CO2 emissions by 2040.
All that remains is to wait for some further information from Rivian or Amazon.
