Transform Your Fleet with Cutting-Edge Technology

Redefining Commercial Mobility

Since 2019, Rivian has been synonymous with innovation in electric delivery vehicles through its partnership with Amazon. Delivering approximately 20,000 units to the e-commerce giant, Rivian has laid the groundwork for an eco-friendly future in logistics. With the conclusion of the four-year exclusivity agreement in November 2023, Rivian rebranded its Electric Delivery Van to the Rivian Commercial Vehicle (RCV). This strategic move signifies a broader market appeal, targeting not only delivery services but also diverse business sectors such as construction, catering, and mobile retail.The RCV is designed to cater to various operational needs. Its robust build and spacious interiors make it suitable for contractors, food trucks, and even small business owners looking to streamline their operations. The vehicle’s versatility extends beyond deliveries, promising a cleaner, more efficient alternative for everyday commercial activities.

Innovative Models for Every Need

Rivian offers two distinct models within its RCV lineup—the RCV 500 and RCV 700. Both models boast impressive features tailored to meet different business requirements. The RCV 500, priced at $79,900, provides a compact yet powerful solution with a cargo volume of 487 cubic feet. Ideal for smaller fleets or businesses needing agility in urban environments, this model ensures ample space for tools and equipment without compromising on maneuverability.On the other hand, the RCV 700, priced slightly higher at $83,900, offers extended dimensions and enhanced capacity. Measuring 278 inches in length and boasting a cargo volume of 652 cubic feet, this model is perfect for larger operations that require substantial storage and payload capabilities. Despite the slight reduction in estimated range (153 miles compared to 161 miles), the RCV 700 compensates with increased GVWR and payload limits, making it a formidable choice for heavy-duty tasks.

Tailored Solutions for Business Success

One of the standout features of the RCV is its adaptability. Pre-upfit prices are just the starting point; the final cost will depend on specific upfitting requirements. Rivian’s dedicated Fleet Sales team collaborates closely with buyers to understand their unique needs, ensuring each vehicle is customized for optimal performance. From specialized compartments to advanced safety features, the customization options are nearly limitless, allowing businesses to tailor their vans precisely to their workflows.Moreover, the RCV’s FWD drivetrain enhances stability and control, crucial for navigating challenging terrains. The ground clearance of 6.9 inches ensures smooth passage over uneven surfaces, while the wheelbase differences between the two models provide flexibility in handling. Businesses can rest assured that their investment in an RCV will lead to improved efficiency and reduced operational costs.

Beyond Deliveries: A Sustainable Future

While the RCV is primarily aimed at business fleets, its environmental benefits cannot be overlooked. As companies increasingly prioritize sustainability, adopting electric vehicles like the RCV can significantly reduce carbon footprints. Rivian’s commitment to green technology aligns perfectly with global efforts to combat climate change. By switching to electric commercial vehicles, businesses contribute to cleaner air and a healthier planet.The timing of Rivian’s expanded sales program is impeccable. With deliveries set to commence in April, businesses have a golden opportunity to modernize their fleets. Whether you operate a small local service or manage a large-scale operation, the RCV promises to revolutionize how you conduct business. Embrace the future of commercial transportation and take the first step towards a greener, more efficient tomorrow.
