What To Know:

Rivian announced a deal with AT&T T on Thursday for the purchase of Rivian Commercial Van and R1 electric vehicles in early 2024. AT&T is hoping the vehicles will improve safety, reduce costs and cut its carbon footprint.

"We couldn't be happier to collaborate with AT&T as we work together to help cut emissions and protect our environment. Around a quarter of CO2 emitted in the transportation sector in the US comes from commercial vans, so it's imperative we do all we can as soon as possible to help cut emissions," said Dagan Mishoulam, VP of strategy and fleet at Rivian.

The deal also includes AT&T being the exclusive connectivity provider for Rivian's vehicles, implementing software updates and new features.
