It's more likely than ever that you'll spot a van with the distinctive Rivian look on the street; Amazon has deployed over 1000 of them to help satisfy its climate pledge.
Amazon now has more than 1000 Rivian delivery vans on U.S. roads and they've been used to deliver more than 5 million packages since their launch in July., a figure it hopes to achieve by 2030. The company plans to have multiple thousands on the road by the end of 2022.
Amazon began rollout of its new electric delivery vans last summer to a dozen major metropolitan areas, with that figure growing to roughly 100 cities now. While the rest of us are overindulging on cheap Halloween candy and starting to think about all that gravy we're going to have to try not to drink at Thanksgiving, Amazon is already listening to Bing Crosby Christmas albums and going through its gift list. The retail/delivery giant is quickly expanding its fleet of electric delivery vehicles, from the dozen cities it started with to over 100 cities today.
Now, with the uptick of online shopping that is expected this time of year, Amazon is not only expanding the size of the fleet but the reach as well. Among the newest cities to receive the vans are Austin, Boston, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Madison, Newark, New York, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Portland, Provo, and Salt Lake City.
