People in ten US cities are about to see a new delivery vehicle from Rivian on the road delivering Amazon packages. The e-commerce giant has been working with Rivian to create a more sustainable fleet
The vehicles are built from the bottom up with safety, sustainability, and comfort in mind, and they have all been extensively driven by drivers across the country. They’re the result of Amazon’s collaboration with Rivian, which the firms announced in 2019 after Amazon co-founded it and became the first signatory of The Climate Pledge — a commitment to reduce emissions in order to meet the Paris Agreement ten years early.
The distinctive electric vehicles will soon be hitting the road in Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Nashville, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis, among other cities. Amazon’s plan is to bring more than 100,000 electric delivery vehicles to the United States by 2030. This is just the beginning of what will undoubtedly be thousands of custom Amazon motor vehicles in more than 100 cities by the end of this year — and millions across the country by 2030.
The design focuses on superior 360-degree visibility and vehicle features that safeguard drivers and pedestrians, such as autonomous emergency braking. There are features to make the driver’s experience better, such as automated door locking/unlocking as the driver approaches or departs the vehicle, and a powered bulkhead door that opens when drivers reach their destination.
The new delivery vehicles are just one part of Amazon’s broader sustainability efforts, which also include building solar farms and wind farms to power its operations, as well as investing in electric vehicle charging stations. The company has also been working on other initiatives such as planting trees and developing packaging that is easier to recycle.As the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon has a huge environmental footprint.
