Expanded Access to Electric Commercial Vans: Rivian Models Now Available to All Fleet Operators
Rivian, the electric vehicle manufacturer, has officially opened sales of its Commercial Van to fleets of all sizes across the United States. This marks a significant milestone for the company as it moves beyond its exclusive partnership with Amazon [2][4].
The Rivian Commercial Van, also known as an electric commercial van (ECV), is now available for public fleet orders. According to fleet insights reported in late July 2025, the vans will be available from mid-2025 [4].
The vans are built in multiple sizes to accommodate different fleet needs and are produced domestically in the U.S., including at a new Georgia manufacturing facility that began production in early 2024 with an annual capacity of 400,000 units [2]. This U.S.-based production supports the availability of the vans across the country.
At the heart of the Rivian Commercial Van's innovation is Rivian's proprietary software ecosystem, which manages various aspects of fleet operations. This software ecosystem streamlines fleet operations, enhances driver productivity, and reduces the total cost of ownership.
Extensive testing with larger fleets over the past year has resulted in overwhelmingly positive feedback. Amazon currently operates more than 20,000 Rivian commercial vans and delivered over a billion packages in 2024 alone with these vans [1].
The Rivian Commercial Van is designed to be among the safest vehicles on the road, offering advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warnings, and 360-degree visibility. It also focuses on driver comfort, sustainability, and cost efficiency [3].
The Rivian Commercial Van offers payload capacities of up to 2,663 pounds and a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of up to 9,500 pounds [1]. It will be available in two configurations, the 500 and the 700.
Tom Solomon, Senior Director of Business Development at Rivian, stated that the company's commercial vans have already proven successful through existing partnerships. He emphasized that the Rivian Commercial Van is a strategic asset for businesses aiming to reduce operational costs and shrink their carbon footprint [3].
The Rivian Commercial Van contributes to long-term sustainability goals, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally responsible transportation solutions. Fleet operators interested in adding Rivian's commercial vans to their lineup can register their interest at www.rivian.com/fleet.
