News about Rivian
About
Rivian Automotive was founded in 2009 by RJ Scaringe and is headquartered in Irvine, California. After years of development it launched its first two vehicles in 2021: the R1T pickup and the R1S SUV, both built on a skateboard platform with quad- and dual-motor drivetrains aimed at the adventure market.
The company builds its vehicles at a plant in Normal, Illinois, and has developed electric delivery vans first supplied to early investor Amazon. The mid-size R2, launched in 2026, is Rivian’s first mass-market model and runs on the new Mid-Size Platform. Rivian is publicly traded on the Nasdaq, and in 2024 it formed a software and electrical-architecture joint venture with Volkswagen Group.
