Earlier this summer, Oliver Blume and I shared our plan for a joint venture between Rivian and Volkswagen Group. Tomorrow, we're excited to officially launch Rivian and VW Group Technology, LLC, led by co-CEOs Wassym Bensaid and Carsten Helbing.
This venture marks a significant step in accelerating electrification, as we bring our technology and engineering expertise to a broader range of vehicle programs — starting with R2!
Congrats to the entire team on reaching this milestone!
Rivian has announced a partnership with LG Energy Solution to supply U.S. manufactured 4695 cylindrical battery cells for the upcoming R2.
Production will start at LGES’s new Queen Creek, AZ plant, aligning with Rivian's focus on domestic manufacturing and IRA compliance.
We're here, Grand Canyon State! 🌵☀️

This is exciting! Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume and I are thrilled to announce the formation of a joint venture between our two companies. This partnership brings Rivian’s software and zonal electronics platform to a broader market through Volkswagen Group’s global reach and scale, while providing an expected $5B of capital to @Rivian as we bring R2 and our next generation of vehicles to market!
