Founded in 2009 by entrepreneur RJ Scaringe, the company develops and produces electric vehicles, products and services solutions related to sustainable transportation and is dispelling many of the myths about electric vehicles with their adventurous and collaborative approach to the sector.

Sharing its vision for more sustainable mobility solutions, the Jameel Family became enthusiastic early-stage investors in RIVIAN. Other significant investors include, Sumitomo Corporation, Amazon, Ford Motor Company, Cox Automotive and TS Rowe.

Based in Irvine, California, which is home to vehicle engineering and design, electronics, software, propulsion, battery systems, supply chain and logistics, IT, as well teams operating their customer facing platforms, RIVIAN has said it is designing its vehicles to facilitate “car-sharing” with their autonomous features.

RIVIAN’s manufacturing plant is located in Normal, Illinois. Here, they are building the R1T and R1S products as well as commercial vans. Other facilities include Plymouth, Michigan; Palo Alto, California; Wittman Arizona; Vancouver, British Columbia and Woking in the United Kingdom.
