Amazon rolls out 1,000 Rivian TVs across US

Amazon plans to have 1,000 Rivian electric delivery vans on US roads by the end of the year. These EV vans are running in 100 cities across the country.

The online giant has stated it aims at having 100,000 Rivian electric vans in operation by 2030, as part of a large order that has enabled the EV maker to get off the ground.

“We’re always excited for the holiday season, but making deliveries to customers across the country with our new zero-emission vehicles for the first time makes this year unique,” said Udit Madan, vice president of Amazon Transportation, in an Amazon blog. “We’ve already delivered over 5 million packages with our vehicles produced by Rivian, and this is still just the beginning—that figure will grow exponentially as we continue to make progress toward our 100,000-vehicle goal.”

“Fleet electrification is essential to reaching the world’s zero-emissions goal,” said Jiten Behl, chief growth officer at Rivian in the same blog. “So, to see our ramp up in production supporting Amazon’s rollout in cities across the country is amazing. Not just for the environment, but also for our teams working hard to get tens of thousands of electric delivery vehicles on the road. They continue to be motivated by our combined mission and the great feedback about the vehicle’s performance and quality.”
