A lot has been said about electric four-wheelers, two-wheelers, and even three-wheelers, but in this article, we’ll focus on the brand-new, thrilling, light-duty electric truck that is currently the talk of the market. Before we get into the specifics let’s first take a quick look at the basic details of the company that is responsible for making things come into reality.
Rivian R1T
Robert “RJ” Scaringe launched the business in 2009 as Mainstream Motors and named it Averva Automotive later changed its name to Rivian in 2011. The business started concentrating on electric and driverless cars. The first vehicle produced by Rivian was envisioned as a sports car. For the American market, this car’s prototype R1 was referred to as a mid-engine hybrid coupe. But as Rivian looked to relaunch its business and make a bigger effect on the automotive industry in late 2011, it was put on hold.
Rivian Automotive, Inc. is a modern American carmaker and provider of automotive technologies. Rivian is developing an electric pickup truck and sport utility vehicle on a “skateboard” platform that can accommodate additional vehicles or can be adapted by other businesses.
