Irvine EV maker Rivian Automotive Inc. (Nasdaq: RIVN) yesterday announced a partnership with Australian-based Mining Electric Vehicle Company (MEVCO) to provide EVs to the mining industry.
Rivian’s R1T pickup truck will be added to MEVCO’s fleet, converted to meet mining specifications and withstand the harsh conditions of underground mines.
“Our fleet offering is better known for our commercial vans, so it’s great to see our R1 vehicles being incorporated into MEVCO’s fleet,” Dagan Mishoulam, Rivian VP of Strategy, said in a statement.
