Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian is now extending its reach beyond Amazon, offering its commercial electric vans to a wider range of fleet customers. The company has been closely associated with Amazon since 2019 when it secured an order for 100,000 electric delivery vehicles (EDVs) as part of a substantial investment. Over the past few years, Rivian has delivered over 20,000 EDVs to Amazon, marking significant progress toward the 30,000-van target set for 2030. Now, Rivian is ready to diversify its clientele and introduce these innovative vans to other businesses.

The newly named Rivian Commercial Van (RCV) will be available in two configurations, designated as the 500 and 700 models. These vehicles come equipped with advanced features designed to meet the demands of modern logistics operations. Both versions are powered by a single motor delivering 320 horsepower and 299 pound-feet of torque, paired with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack that offers up to 161 miles of range. The shorter 500 model measures 248.5 inches in length, providing 487 cubic feet of cargo space and a payload capacity of 2,663 pounds. Meanwhile, the larger 700 stretches to 278 inches, offering 652 cubic feet of cargo space and a payload rating of 2,258 pounds. Each variant can achieve a gross vehicle weight rating of 9,500 pounds.

Rivian's expansion into the broader commercial market signals a pivotal moment for sustainable logistics solutions. By offering efficient, eco-friendly vehicles, Rivian is not only catering to the growing demand for electric transportation but also promoting environmental responsibility. As more companies embrace electric fleets, we move closer to reducing carbon emissions and fostering a greener future. Rivian's commitment to innovation and sustainability sets a positive example for the industry, encouraging others to adopt similar practices and contribute to a healthier planet.
