Amazon has taken the wraps off its first customised electric delivery van, designed and built in partnership with Rivian.
The e-commerce giant is pitching this as a major milestone on its path to get 10,000 Amazon EVs on the road by 2022 and 100,000 by 2030.

"When we set out to create our first customised electric delivery vehicle with Rivian, we knew that it needed to far surpass any other delivery vehicle,” says Ross Rachey, Director of Amazon's Global Fleet and Products.
“We wanted drivers to love using it and customers to feel excited when they saw it driving through their neighbourhood and pulling up to their home. We combined Rivian’s technology with our delivery logistics knowledge, and the result is what you see here, the future of last mile delivery."
