Rivian's expansion plans also include Europe. As we have seen recently, sales of the electric models of the American car manufacturer in the Old Continent will start at the beginning of 2022, even if a precise date still does not exist; . In the past it was also speculated that the manufacturer could build a new factory in Europe. New rumors about it say it could be built in England .
A Sky News report reported by Automotive News Europe says that the brand is in talks with the British government to build its first plant outside the US near the city & agrave; of Bristol . However, the talks are not yet at an advanced stage. Probably a lot will depend by the aid in terms of incentives and concessions that the United Kingdom will offer; to the company.
A VERY IMPORTANT INVESTMENT
The UK, however, will have to; also face competition from Germany and Holland. Rivian's investment in this site could reportedly be around £ 1 billion (just under 1.2 billion euros). Attracting new investments within the country is one of the British government's main goals for post-Brexit, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson would have shown a keen interest in the progress of the talks.
Anyway, what is; more interesting & egrave; Rivian's expansion plan. Currently, the company & agrave; has only a factory but just recently the news of the will emerged; to open a second plant in America that would also be involved in the production of batteries. And now comes the indiscretion of the negotiations for the construction of the first European plant.
Expansion strategy that & egrave; possible thanks to the investors of the American manufacturer, including Amazon. However, the first thing Rivian has to do is; start deliveries of its electric models as it is; late on schedule. The first units of the R1T electric pickup will arrive in the hands of customers in September.
