Rivian worked closely with real Amazon drivers throughout the design progress. The van includes features like 360-degree cameras for driver safety, and patented, energy-saving microclimate seats for all-weather comfort.
“We’re excited to showcase these vehicles in our communities, bringing packages right to the customers' front door with care and confidence,” said Gary Brar, owner of Rev Couriers Services LTD (REVC), which is one of Amazon’s Delivery Service Partners in the Vancouver area. “We are proud to be a part of this next chapter of electric vehicles in our fleet.”
Rivian has continued to invest in Canada for the nearly five years it has operated in the country. Currently, Rivian has one unique space in downtown Vancouver, as well as four service and delivery centers in Toronto, Ontario; Richmond, British Columbia; Montreal, Quebec; and Calgary, Alberta. Rivian also has growing software engineering hubs in downtown Vancouver and Toronto, including engineers from the company’s joint venture, Rivian Volkswagen Group Technologies.
