This is great news. They just need 15 or 20 more deals like this!

While it has a Morgan Olson body, the C250e will be packed with Rivian technology, such as Rivian’s user interface, user experience, and software stack, Solomon said. It could also feature Rivian’s safety features, such as automatic emergency braking, driver assistance features, and a 360-degree camera system. The C250e will be fitted with a 100 kWh lithium-ion-phosphate (LFP) battery pack.

Glad to see Canada Post moving into the future - even better that it will be Rivian-powered

I may have missed this along the way, but I assume (hope) Rivian is baking in a telematics service with these commercial deals?

If the 2 DHL EDV's are any indication, they seem to be picking up some solid customers.

Awesome news, especially since it’s just the chassis and not an entire vehicle that they have to produce. Gotta make money to keep the company afloat.

I agree. It's very scalable.
