Rivian is supposed to be making these for Amazon because they are part owned by Amazon. It looks like Rivian isn’t available outside the US and this Mercedes purchase is specifically for Europe.

Lots of Rivian Amazon delivery vans in Munich, Germany

Interesting. Wikipedia says area served is “North America”.

I'm like how these high mileage vehicles are turning electric.

Been noticing more electric buses, Tesla's as taxis, wv ID buzz as trademans vans, and delivery vans being electric. Great places to start.

In USA the USPS bought a bunch of Mercedes ICE vans. They removed all Mercedes emblems though.
