Rivian Halts Amazon Van Production Due to Parts Shortage
The EV maker pauses manufacturing at its Normal, IL plant but aims to recover lost output.
- Rivian's production halt affects only the Electric Delivery Vans (EDVs) for Amazon, not its other models.
- The company has delivered over 15,000 EDVs to Amazon since 2022, with plans to fulfill a 100,000-unit order by 2030.
- Rivian cites supply chain issues as the cause but expects to make up for the missed production.
- Amazon, a significant Rivian investor, does not foresee major impacts from the short-term production pause.
- Rivian continues to introduce cost-saving technologies despite the current setback.
