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.

Why the Rivian Commercial Van Stands Out

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.

Top Features

  • Sustainable Performance: Cut operational GHG emissions by 50% or more compared to gas-powered alternatives.
  • High Efficiency: Delivers up to 161 miles of range, ideal for daily last-mile delivery routes.
  • Robust Capability: 320 horsepower, 2,663-pound payload capacity, and 487 cubic feet of cargo space.
  • Driver-Centric Design: Patented microclimate seats, 360-degree cameras, and ergonomics shaped by feedback from real delivery drivers.
  • Total Cost Savings: A McKinsey report (2023) shows a 13% lower total cost of ownership for last-mile applications compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

Built for Fleet-Scale Deployment

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.

Models & Pricing

  • RCV 500: Starting at $79,900
  • RCV 700: Starting at $83,900

Both models are equipped for high-volume deliveries, designed to operate efficiently and safely in dense urban and suburban environments.
