Electric auto startup Rivian is expanding a fleet business that appeared to be solely tied to Amazon.
The business, in which Amazon holds a 20% stake, will start off getting orders for its electric powered shipping and delivery vans in 2022, with options to provide them to buyers by early 2023, according to a new segment of Rivian’s internet site.
Rivian has been performing to satisfy a deal to make 100,000 electric powered auto shipping and delivery vans for Amazon through 2024. (Rivian has said it ideas to produce the very first 10 of Amazon’s purchase by the stop of this year.)
