Thanks to the folks at Amazon!
Let’s celebrate an electric vehicle for Amazon in a delivery. This is without:
Full of industry-leading safety and design features, this vehicle raises the bar for next generation delivery.
Just a year since announcing The Climate Pledge, Amazon is excited to reveal its first custom electric delivery vehicle. I mean designed and built in partnership with Rivian.
Climate Positive
In support of The Climate Pledge commitment to be net zero carbon by 2040. So 10,000 Amazon custom electric delivery vehicles will be on the road. That’s delivering to customers worldwide. I mean as early as 2022. Finally and all 100,000 by 2030.
This is one of three different models that Amazon has invested in and completely customized with Rivian.
That’s to enhance the driver experience and optimize safety.
When Amazon set out to create our first customized electric delivery vehicle with Rivian. I mean it was a commitment. For they knew that it needed. Especially to far surpass any other delivery vehicle. We wanted drivers to love using it and customers to feel excited. Especially when they saw it driving through their neighborhood. I mean or pulling up to their home. For the combined Rivian technology with Amazon’s delivery logistics knowledge. I mean the result is what you see here. They want the future of last mile delivery.
Amazingly Electric
“The vehicle we’ve developed with Amazon is not just electric. We prioritized safety and functionality to create a vehicle that’s optimized for package delivery,” said RJ Scaringe, Rivian CEO. “We thought through how drivers get in and out of the van, what the work space feels like and what the work flow is for delivering packages.”
Amazon’s custom electric vehicle is packed with industry leading safety, navigation and design features, including:
1. State-of-the-art sensor detection, a suite of highway and traffic assist technology, and a large windshield to enhance driver visibility.
2. Exterior cameras around the vehicle that are linked to a digital display inside the cabin, giving the driver a 360-degree view outside the vehicle.
3. Alexa integration for hands-free access to route information and the latest weather updates.
4. A strengthened door on the driver’s side for additional protection.
5. A “dancefloor” inside the driver’s cabin for easy movement inside the van.
6. Bright tail lights surrounding the rear of the vehicle to easily detect braking.
7. Three levels of shelving with a bulkhead door, which can easily be opened and closed for additional driver protection while on the road.
