Rivian, the startup electric truck manufacturer, will build 100,000 custom electric delivery vehicles exclusively for Amazon beginning in 2021, the companies have announced.
The huge order by Amazon represents a previously unrevealed commercial vehicle to be designed and built at Rivian's factory in downstate Normal, alongside the manufacturer's consumer-focused electric truck and SUV lines. Online retail giant Amazon is also a significant investor in Rivian.
