Rivian is an automaker best known for its excellent R1 line of vehicles.
The R1T is especially iconic with its cartoonish mug and awesome off-road capability.
But did you know that Rivian also makes a super cool electric delivery van for Amazon?

Many people don’t know that those awesome new Amazon vans dropping off packages everywhere are actually Rivian-built.
Better still, the vans are jam-packed with features that make the driver’s commute much easier.
Why Is Rivian Building Electric Delivery Vans for Amazon?

The answer to this question is pretty straightforward.
Furthermore, this probably won’t be the last product Rivian builds for Amazon.
If the electric van is any indication, we can expect many more excellent products from the startup automaker.

But, in the Rivian EDV’s case, the dual motors are both located up front.
It’s super cool to run into a front-wheel drive system with a dedicated motor for each wheel.
It’s absolutely massive, and recognizing the Amazon EDV on the road should be extremely easy.

Of course, the van as a whole is very eye-catching for a delivery vehicle.
Friendly Front End
The Amazon Delivery Van’s front end is one of the cutest in the automotive world.
Rivian definitely knows how to put a distinctive mug on a vehicle.
The glossy black grille is also very elegant and provides a futuristic aura to the Rivian’s front end.
Weird Reverse Noise
Usually, commercial delivery vehicles make a distinctive beeping sound when reversing.
But, the sound Rivian came up with is just strange.
Pedestrians will likely hear it, but they might be confused as to what exactly is going on.
Sometimes reinventing the wheel is unnecessary, and this is a perfect example.
It might be the first example of a vehicle designed by a company with employee comfort specifically in mind.
This door automatically slides open whenever the Rivian van is placed in park.
If they need to, delivery drivers can also control this door from the central touchscreen.
Instead, it’s truly one of the coolest vehicles currently on the road.
The van is distinctively Rivian, yet it has many little features that make it an Amazon product.
These vans should help make life more pleasant for the hard-working people who deliver our packages around the clock.
