Leading meal kit provider HelloFresh will purchase 70 Rivian electric vans. Indeed, HelloFresh is Rivian’s first major fleet customer since Rivian opened van sales to the public earlier this year, following the end of the exclusive agreement with Amazon.

“Fresh prepared food is one of the fastest growing grocery segments, and Factor leads the market with healthy, convenient, high-quality, ready-to-eat meals,” said Nunzio Di Savino, VP, US Logistics for HelloFresh. “We’re taking this opportunity to showcase Factor’s dedication to sustainability through impactful branding, including our delivery fleet.”

HelloFresh have also been able to significantly reduce their CO2 output by 200 tonnes, the equivalent to the carbon sequestered in 300 acres of U.S. forest, according to the company itself.

“We’re delighted that HelloFresh has joined us on our mission to cut emissions and protect our environment. HelloFresh delivers to millions of customers in the U.S., so by adding more electric vehicles to its fleet, it has not only helped reduce their carbon output, but has improved air quality in cities across the U.S. We’re looking forward to working with Ryder to help HelloFresh achieve their climate goals”, added Tom Solomon, VP, B2B Growth & Business Development at Rivian.
