Rivian has launched the R1T, R1S and EDV while building direct-to-customer delivery and service operations, the Rivian Adventure Network fast-charging footprint, and fleet chargers to support both consumer and commercial demand. The company says its R1 backlog exceeds 90,000 preorders, alongside Amazon’s initial 100,000-vehicle EDV order, which is also shaping future commercial variants and the FleetOS software-as-a-service platform. Rivian introduced and began deliveries of second-generation R1 vehicles in Q2 2024, adding hundreds of design, engineering and performance upgrades, plus expanded highway hands-free capability and Universal Hands-Free across more than 3.5 million miles in the US and Canada, with feature usage up 70%. A Normal, Illinois retooling upgrade brought new technologies and cost-focused material changes to the R1 platform and could raise R1 line speed by roughly 30%, while Rivian says company-wide cost transformation has cut unit costs on both R1 and EDV through engineering redesigns, commercial cost reductions and manufacturing efficiencies. On the commercial side, EDVs have delivered over 1 billion Amazon packages, Rivian has opened its commercial van to U.S. fleets of all sizes, and HelloFresh has added 70 Rivian Commercial Vans with Factor branding.
