Amazon has partnered with EV maker Rivian to have at least
100,000 electric delivery vans on the road by 2030. Amazon said
in July it had more than 5,000.
Amazon's latest update comes after Rivian, which also makes R1T
pick-up trucks and R1S sport utility vehicles, in August raised
its production forecast for the 2023 full year, to 52,000
vehicles.
Amazon, which holds a stake in Rivian, has completed 150 million
deliveries with Rivian vans. The Seattle-based company is also
working with Volvo to add heavy-duty electric trucks to its
middle-mile delivery fleet. Volvo in 2022 said it would provide
20 EV trucks to Amazon.
