Rivian: two new electric cars planned for Europe
Like many other foreign manufacturers of electric cars, Rivian should in turn make his arrival on the European market. But as it encounters some difficulties, the American firm should not be exported before at least three years, with a brand new model adapted to our market.
Do European manufacturers concern themselves to ? Without a doubt. Because recently, many young brands have been developing and begin to set up on the old continent. Chinese mainly, such as Byd, Nio or Xpeng, not to mention MG, who are increasingly worrying about specialists who fear that Europe only becomes a simple importer. But other American manufacturers, such as Lucid with his air sedan also arrive with us, little by little.
An arrival but not immediately
Some brands take longer than others to cross the Atlantic, even if it is not the desire that they lack. This is particularly the case of Rivian, founded in 2009, first under the name of mainstream Motors, before becoming Avera Automotive a little later. However, it was not until 2020 that this one launched its first model, the R1T, an electric pick-up unveiled in 2018 in the form of a concept.
Rival of the Tesla Cybertruck and other Ford F-150 Lightning, it has been accompanied since the beginning of 2021 by the Rivian R1S. This time this is a more conventional electric SUV, which hunts on the lands of the new GMC Hummer EV, among others. Two very close models, which should soon be supported by a newcomer.
Called R1X, the latter could arrive in the catalog at the end of next year. But like the others, it should only be sold in the United States, the only market on which the brand is present. However, it is not the desire that lacks Rivian to export to us. And for good reason, the manufacturer had even signed a partnership with Mercedes last September.
The goal ? Develop electric utilities, a bit like Ford and Volkswagen also associated in order to share their skills. This is how the future electric SUV of the blue oval brand will rest on the Meb platform of the Wolfsburg firm. Yes, but here, the alliance between Rivian and the star brand will not have lasted for a long time, since the divorce was pronounced last December.
A new model
And for good reason, the situation of the American company, which develops its own network of charging stations, is not good. According to an article by the American agency Reuters, Rivian did not reach its objective of 25,000 vehicles sold in 2022. In total, 24,337 units were produced in its factory Located in Illinois and only 20,332 cars were delivered.
Thus, the arrival in Europe will wait a bit, the health of the brand being still fragile. As the site explains Carscoop, Rivian should come to us with a model more suited to our market so as not to take any risk. These would be future R2S and R2T, which would take the form of a SUV and a pick-up respectively.
But we will have to be patient before discovering these two vehicles on our roads. And for good reason, if their launch was planned in 2025, He was finally postponed to 2026. So we should not see anything happening before that year, at least. These vehicles should be assembled within the new Rivian factory located in Georgia and which should be operational in 2024.
This will also be responsible for making the R1X, which will compete with the Mercedes EQG, Jeep Wrangler and other Ford Bronco. Arriving in Europe, the manufacturer will then have to find its place in front of Tesla and Chinese brands also starting their marketing with us. But also in General Motors, who also prepares his great return to our electric territory.
