At present, some media have learned from China National Intellectual Property Administration that Rivian has applied for the design patent of R 1T electric pickup truck in China. At present, it is impossible to prove whether it will be introduced into China, but it does not rule out the possibility in the future.
Who's livian?
I believe most people are not familiar with the Rivian brand, but it is actually a "new force" in American car making. Since its establishment in 2009, it has been 1 1 year. As a new pure electric vehicle company, they chose to buy Mitsubishi factory in Illinois, USA, and began mass production of cars on 20 19.
Recently, this rapidly rising "new force" car-making enterprise was acquired by T.Rowe? The new round of financing led by Price is worth $65.438+300 million.
In fact, Rivian has had several rounds of financing before this. 20 19 February, it first got 700 million dollars from Amazon, 500 million dollars from Ford in April, and Cox in September. A $350 million fund from the car company.
After some financing, this "new force" car-making enterprise established in 2009 has been transformed into an automobile enterprise with a valuation of more than $3 billion, and it has also become the most powerful electric vehicle startup in the United States to shake Tesla's position.
Rivian is also considered to be the most successful electric vehicle startup company in the United States after Tesla, and its difficulty or turmoil far exceeds Faraday's. Future, sober? Electric vehicle start-ups such as electric motors and Baiteng have arrived slightly.
According to industry analysis, Rivian, which has accumulated about 20 billion RMB in four financing times in one year, is among strategic investors such as Amazon, Ford, Cox and T? Luo. Price? With the support of financial investors such as Associates, we have the opportunity to beat Tesla in the US market in the next five years.
Compared with Twitter celebrities like Rivian CEO Musk? RJ？ Scaringe is a lot of low-key, lacking the strong personality charm of Musk, and Rivian is also a new and innovative company in the eyes of the public.
Like the Roadster originally developed by Tesla based on Lotus Elise, Scaringe initially spent two years developing a small sports car. At that time, the company was not famous, so the research and development of this small sports car was carried out in secret. In this way, the company operated for 8 years without being known to the outside world, until they formally established the factory in 20 17. The team realized that it is unwise to continue to focus on electric sports cars in the current US and global markets. In contrast, the development prospects of electric pickup trucks and SUVs are broader, so they stopped all their work and decided to build an electric pickup truck seriously.
At this time, Rivian has developed from a garage with only a few people to a factory with 2000 employees and an area of 260 square feet. According to the previously announced plan, the company's production capacity was controlled at 20,000-25,000 vehicles per year in the first two years, and it will reach 250,000 vehicles per year after mass production.
Rivian adopts a modular and extensible skateboard platform, and based on this, it develops more vehicle possibilities, one of which is the investor Amazon's cargo transport vehicle, and both parties have signed an order contract for 6,543,800 vehicles. In addition, it is reported that the electric SUV that Lincoln plans to launch in 2022 will be built on Rivian's chassis.
Rivian? R 1T？ Want to enter China?
In fact, RIVIAN R 1T was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year before Tesla released Cybertruck. It has won a lot of attention with its simple and atmospheric design style and strong dynamic performance, but it is too far away from our domestic consumers.
Recently, some media learned from China National Intellectual Property Administration that Ruiweian Intellectual Property Holdings Co., Ltd. applied for the design patent of R1T. Rivian applied for the design patent of R 1T in China. At present, it is impossible to prove whether this car will be introduced into China, but it is not ruled out that it may exist in the future.
According to the information published by the media, R 1T adopts a suspension system with front double wishbone and rear multi-links, and is equipped with an adjustable air shock absorber, and the wading depth can reach 1 meter. Each wheel of the car is driven by a motor, so that each wheel can be controlled independently and the vehicle can be turned in situ with corresponding control logic.
