Rivian – The Meaning Behind the Materials
With 25% of R2 by weight made from recycled or bio-based materials, it’s our most responsibly built vehicle yet. Get the details on our sustainable sources and book a drive to feel the difference firsthand.
Rivian vehicles are built for every adventure, and that means using materials that are not only durable and highly functional but also responsibly sourced.
Integral to our tagline, Keep the World Adventurous Forever, is delivering an excellent product while taking into account our impact — and staying competitive without giving an inch on quality. By weight, one-quarter of the vehicle is made from recycled or bio-based materials. R2 truly shines, however, when we look at those touchpoints that rely heavily on plastics and other synthetic materials:
“As our first vehicle designed for high production volume and the mass market, R2 represents a tremendous opportunity for us to achieve impact at scale. Our selection of materials, manufacturing processes, and powertrain design make R2 Rivian’s most responsibly built vehicle to date while opening the brand to millions of new potential drivers.”
