Electric vehicle specialists Rivian outline the design story behind its new zero-emission delivery van for Amazon
Amazon has released a video outlining the thinking behind its new electric Prime delivery van, being created for the company by electric trucks start-up Rivian. While brief, the video shows modelling work going on in Rivian’s design studio and explains that the team “worked backwards from the needs of the driver” to define the design from a blank slate and make the “most functional, highest performing and the safest” van they can – Alexa integration and all.
