February 14, 2025 – Rivian, the emerging American automotive manufacturer, announced on the 10th of this month that its electric commercial vans are now open for sales to fleet customers across the United States. Previously, this series of vehicles were exclusively used by Amazon as delivery vehicles, but Rivian has since conducted trial collaborations with partners such as AT&T.
