Fleet operators seeking to electrify their operations with a reliable, purpose-built vehicle now have a compelling new option: the Rivian Commercial Van (RCV). With Amazon exclusivity officially ending in November 2023, Rivian has opened orders to the public, bringing its innovative electric commercial van to fleets of all sizes starting February 2025, with deliveries beginning this month.
Manufactured in Normal, Illinois, the Rivian Commercial Van is designed and built in America for the demands of real-world commercial use. The van has already been tested in rigorous last-mile delivery environments, logging more than 100 million miles through Amazon’s delivery fleet and helping to deliver over 1 billion packages to date.
The RCV combines sustainability, safety, and performance in one cutting-edge electric platform. Fleet operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint while enhancing productivity and safety will find the RCV an ideal solution.
Over the past year, Rivian has piloted the RCV with leading fleet operators, refining its product and services to ensure scalability. With fleet support infrastructure in place, demo drives and long-term loaners are now available for larger fleet evaluations. Customers can place orders directly or coordinate with their Fleet Management Partner for a streamlined purchasing experience.
Both models are equipped for high-volume deliveries, designed to operate efficiently and safely in dense urban and suburban environments.
With a proven track record and public orders now open, the Rivian Commercial Van is ready to transform commercial fleets across the U.S. Whether you’re running regional delivery routes or scaling a national fleet, Rivian’s electric platform provides a modern, eco-conscious, and cost-effective solution.
