Rivian opens sales of commercial vans to all companies

Rivian will sell his commercial electric vans to any American company who wants one – more than a year since the end of an exclusivity agreement with Amazon Backer.

The new potential activity section arrived at a crucial time for the company, which does everything it can to reduce the losses before The launch of a more posted SUV next year.

Rivian was spotted by performing a number of Tests with potential fleet customers. And the manufacturer of electric vehicles spent last year preparing a commercial fleet line for a wider band of companies, which included the creation of service infrastructure, digital infrastructure and the collection of comments via pilots of Fleet customers, according to spokesperson Tanya Miller.

“During the past year, we have focused our efforts on the tests with larger fleets, and we are really satisfied with how these trials have disappeared,” said Tom Solomon, Senior Director of Commercial Development of Rivian, in a press release.

Rivian began producing commercial vans in 2021, two years after Amazon announced that he had commanded 100,000 of vehicles as part of an effort to reduce its climate impact.
