Rivian宣布将向所有美国企业出售其商用电动货车,结束了与亚马逊一年多的独家合作协议。此次开放销售包括500和700两种型号的货车,但仅限注册企业购买。此举为Rivian开辟了潜在的新收入来源,正值公司努力减少亏损,并为明年推出更实惠的SUV做准备的关键时刻。过去一年,Rivian一直在与潜在的客户进行试验,并建立服务和数字基础设施,同时收集客户反馈。

💰 开放商用电动货车销售,为Rivian带来了新的潜在收入来源,有助于公司在推出更实惠SUV前减少亏损。

📦 亚马逊目前已在其车队中拥有20,000辆Rivian生产的商用货车,这显示了Rivian在电动货车领域的实力和市场潜力。

Rivian will sell its commercial electric vans to any U.S. business that wants one — more than a year since ending an exclusivity deal with backer Amazon.

The company will sell two vans — the smaller 500 and the larger 700 — but buyers will have to be registered businesses, according to the company. That means any hopeful van-lifers will have to wait and see if Rivian ever sells them direct.

The launch of its commercial van fleet business opens up a potential revenue stream that has sat dormant since Rivian and Amazon ended their exclusive deal in November 2023. The new potential line of business comes at a crucial time for the company, which is doing all that it can to pare losses ahead of the launch of a more-affordable SUV next year.

Rivian has been spotted performing a number of trials with potential fleet customers. And the EV maker has spent the past year preparing a commercial fleet line for a broader swath of businesses, which included building out service infrastructure, digital infrastructure, and collecting feedback via pilots from fleet customers, according to spokesperson Tanya Miller.

“Over the last year we have been focusing our efforts on testing with some larger fleets, and we’re really pleased with how those trials have gone,” Tom Solomon, Rivian’s senior director of business development, said in a statement.

Rivian first started producing the commercial vans in 2021, two years after Amazon announced it had order 100,000 of the vehicles as part of an effort to reduce its climate impact. Amazon was already deeply invested in Rivian when it struck the exclusivity agreement for the commercial vans. Just seven months before, the e-commerce giant led a $700 million investment round in Rivian.

Amazon now has 20,000 commercial vans produced by Rivian in its fleet, according to Solomon.
