Amazon<\/a>\u00a0is beginning to roll out some of the electric delivery vans that it developed with\u00a0Rivian Automotive<\/a>, the companies announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

In September 2019, Amazon founder and then-CEO Jeff Bezos\u00a0stood on stage at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to announce<\/a>\u00a0that the company had purchased 100,000 electric vehicles from the startup as part of its ambitious push to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2040.<\/p>\n

Amazon debuted a version of the van\u00a0in October 2020<\/a>, and then\u00a0tested the vehicles<\/a>\u00a0in a number of cities throughout 2021. Now, Amazon says it will use the electric vehicles to make deliveries in a handful of cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Nashville, Tennessee, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle and St. Louis, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amazon said it expects to have \u201cthousands\u201d of Rivian vans in more than 100 cities by the end of this year, the first step toward its goal of having 100,000 electric delivery vehicles on the road in the U.S. by 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cFighting the effects of climate change requires constant innovation and action, and Amazon is partnering with companies who share our passion for inventing new ways to minimize our impact on the environment,\u201d Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a statement. \u201cRivian has been an excellent partner in that mission, and we\u2019re excited to see our first custom electric delivery vehicles on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivian CEO R.J. Scaringe said the vehicle deployment is a \u201cmilestone\u201d in efforts to decarbonize last-mile delivery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amazon oversees a mammoth shipping and logistics network, and much of its delivery operations are in-house. As part of that, it increasingly relies upon an sprawling army of contracted delivery companies to ferry packages to customers\u2019 doorsteps, which primarily use dark blue Amazon-branded vans that burn fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Rivian rollout has faced some challenges. Last November, Amazon delivery drivers charged with testing the vehicles claimed the vans\u2019 battery drained quickly when heating or cooling was on, threatening the vehicle range, and alleged the battery takes an hour to recharge, according to\u00a0The Information<\/a>. An Amazon executive told the outlet that the vehicles would have a range of 150 miles, more than enough for many delivery routes.<\/p>\n

In May, Rivian filed a lawsuit against a supplier of seats for delivery vans ordered by Amazon, spurring concerns that it could delay the vans,\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Rivian\u00a0has faced a series of challenges in ramping up production of its own R1T and R1S electric vehicles. The company\u00a0cut its 2022 production forecast in half<\/a>\u00a0in March, to just 25,000 vehicles including\u00a0Amazon\u2019s vans, amid supply chain constraints and early issues with its assembly line. It\u00a0reiterated that forecast<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month.\u00a0Rivian\u00a0will report its second-quarter results on August 11.<\/p>\n

Amazon, which has backed Rivian through its\u00a0Climate Pledge Fund<\/a>, says it remains committed to creating a more sustainable delivery fleet. To support the electric vans, Amazon has added thousands of charging stations at its delivery depots in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Amazon has tapped other automakers besides Rivian to electrify its fleet. In January, Amazon said it would buy thousands of electric Ram vans from\u00a0Stellantis<\/a>, and it has also ordered vans from Daimler\u2019s Mercedes-Benz unit for package deliveries.<\/p>\n
