Amazon est\u00e1 trayendo las primeras furgonetas de reparto el\u00e9ctricas del fabricante estadounidense Rivian a Europa, empezando por Alemania. M\u00e1s de 300 veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos Rivian entrar\u00e1n en las flotas de reparto de M\u00fanich, Berl\u00edn y D\u00fcsseldorf en las pr\u00f3ximas semanas, uni\u00e9ndose a \"miles de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos\" de otros fabricantes para Amazon.<\/p>\n

El minorista en l\u00ednea anunci\u00f3 en Octubre de 2022<\/a> a invertir m\u00e1s de mil millones de euros en la descarbonizaci\u00f3n de su log\u00edstica en Europa en los pr\u00f3ximos cinco a\u00f1os. Esto incluye la compra de miles de nuevos veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos, camiones de gran tama\u00f1o y la correspondiente infraestructura de recarga de megavatios. En cifras concretas, Amazon se propone engrosar la flota de transportes hasta las 10.000 furgonetas de emisiones cero en 2025, frente a las 3.000 de entonces.<\/p>\n El acuerdo con Rivian se remonta a 2019<\/a>, cuando Amazon lleg\u00f3 a un acuerdo para la entrega de hasta 100.000 furgonetas de reparto el\u00e9ctricas en esta d\u00e9cada. El comunicado de hoy a\u00f1ade que ya hay unas 3.000 furgonetas Rivian repartiendo paquetes en m\u00e1s de 500 ciudades y regiones de Estados Unidos. El despliegue comenz\u00f3 el verano pasado<\/a> en Norteam\u00e9rica y llega por primera vez a Europa.<\/p>\n Lo que se sab\u00eda entonces es que la furgoneta utiliza la plataforma de monopat\u00edn de Rivian, que sustenta el pick-up R1T y el SUV R1S del fabricante. Hay dos variantes de la furgoneta<\/a> denominados EDV500 y EDV700, que hacen referencia a 500 y 700 pies c\u00fabicos de volumen de carga, equivalentes a 14,1 y 19,8 metros c\u00fabicos, respectivamente. A\u00fan est\u00e1 por llegar una tercera variante con un volumen de carga de 900 pies c\u00fabicos (equivalentes a 25,5 metros c\u00fabicos). EDV es la abreviatura de Electric Delivery Vehicle (veh\u00edculo el\u00e9ctrico de reparto).<\/p>\n Adem\u00e1s, en las noticias de hoy, Amazon y Rivian han dicho que \"han dise\u00f1ado especialmente una furgoneta m\u00e1s corta y delgada que su hom\u00f3loga estadounidense para que se adapte mejor a las ciudades europeas\".<\/p>\n Los detalles t\u00e9cnicos surgieron en un evento de lanzamiento, y Rivian public\u00f3 algunos datos t\u00e9cnicos de la EDV500 destinada a Europa. La furgoneta cuenta con un motor el\u00e9ctrico de desarrollo propio que se asemeja al propulsor de la camioneta R1T. La bater\u00eda, de celdas LFP, tiene un contenido energ\u00e9tico de 100 kWh y deber\u00eda garantizar una autonom\u00eda de hasta 200 kil\u00f3metros, incluso en condiciones adversas, seg\u00fan Rivian. La potencia de carga del CCS est\u00e1 especificada en 50 kW.<\/p>\n Las dimensiones de la EDV-500 son 6,31 x 2,45 x 2,9 metros con una distancia entre ejes de cuatro metros. Las medidas del maletero de 14,1 metros c\u00fabicos son 2,09 metros de altura y 1,93 metros de anchura. Amazon ofrece un radio de giro de 14,6 metros, una altura libre al suelo de algo menos de 18 cent\u00edmetros y un valor cW de 0,33. El equipamiento incluye varios sistemas de asistencia a la conducci\u00f3n, un asiento del conductor calefactado y un sistema de aire acondicionado orientado al conductor.<\/p>\n El EDV-700 es unos buenos 70 cent\u00edmetros m\u00e1s largo, con 7,04 metros, y esta ganancia se refleja plenamente en la distancia entre ejes, que crece hasta los 4,75 metros. Poco se sabe de la construcci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica de esta variante, que se utiliza en EE.UU.<\/p>\n A\u00fan as\u00ed, el despliegue en EE.UU. sirvi\u00f3 de base para el lanzamiento en Europa. \"Hemos recibido comentarios incre\u00edbles de los conductores en los EE.UU., y estamos muy contentos de comenzar la expansi\u00f3n internacional en Alemania\", dijo Dagan Mishoulam, VP de Estrategia y Go To Market, Rivian. \"Hoy es un verdadero hito para nosotros, ya que tambi\u00e9n marca los primeros veh\u00edculos Rivian en Europa, y estamos muy entusiasmados con nuestro futuro en la regi\u00f3n.\"<\/p>\n Al mismo tiempo, Amazon y Rivian a\u00fan no han dado detalles sobre los pr\u00f3ximos pasos. Aunque est\u00e1 claro que las furgonetas EDV-500 que llegar\u00e1n a Alemania son veh\u00edculos de serie y ya no furgonetas de prueba, Amazon no especifica c\u00f3mo continuar\u00e1 el despliegue despu\u00e9s de las primeras 300 unidades aproximadamente. Tambi\u00e9n queda abierto qu\u00e9 otros mercados europeos ser\u00e1n los siguientes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazon est\u00e1 trayendo las primeras furgonetas de reparto el\u00e9ctricas del fabricante estadounidense Rivian a Europa, empezando por Alemania.

While detailed numbers or locations remain scarce again, a previous example of how such charging depots can look is the EV Park in Essen<\/a>, where 340 charging stations help over 150 EDVs operate daily.<\/p>\n Still, in today’s news, Amazon only claimed it had added “thousands of charging stations at its facilities across Europe” and would continue investing in infrastructure to support a more sustainable delivery fleet.<\/p>\n Said fleet also includes vans of other makes. Amazon has orders with Stellantis<\/a> and Mercedes-Benz Vans<\/a> since August 2020 to deliver electric transporters in Europe. The retailer also bought heavier vehicles. Amazon reportedly wants to procure up to 1,500 heavy-duty electric trucks and holds orders with Volvo<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Daimler<\/a>. Volvo Trucks delivered 20 FH Electrics to Amazon in Germany, and Amazon is part of a real-world trial of Daimler’s 44-ton electric truck funded by the German BMDV ministry.<\/p>\n Amazon spreading its purchasing power across the board has had implications for Rivian before. While the deal is exclusive, the startup is reportedly<\/a> in talks with Amazon to lift the exclusivity clause. This comes as orders remain allegedly below expectations; according to the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, Amazon placed a firm order with Rivian for only around 10,000 electric transporters in 2023, thus falling short of expectations. The WSJ<\/em> cited internal sources saying this was not the first time Amazon has stayed at the low end of the agreed range for its orders.<\/p>\n Rivian established a dedicated production line for the Amazon EDVs in the USA but has not seen the numbers to justify the calculations. Dissolving the existing exclusivity agreement would enable the young company to sell the vehicles to other customers and documents filed with the NHTSA appear to support such a step. Rivian specified S (Service) and Z (Amazon) equipment variants, suggesting that the S model could be intended for other fleet customers once Amazon’s exclusive contract with Rivian expires or dissolves.<\/p>\n Where Amazon stands on removing the exclusivity clause is unclear.<\/p>\n Today the retailer only confirmed its commitment to reaching net-zero carbon by 2040, and reducing delivery-related emissions was “a critical part of this goal,” said Rocco Br\u00e4uniger, Country Manager for Amazon.de. “Last year, we delivered more than 45 million packages in Germany with electric vans and e-cargo bikes, and these new additions from Rivian will help us deliver packages more sustainably and to more customers.”<\/p>\n Amazon has already established what it calls micro-mobility hubs, central depots deploying smaller vehicles for deliveries. These exist in more than 20 European cities, including London, Munich and Paris, and Amazon also expects to double that figure by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n Earlier news<\/a> of Rivian looking to establish a European manufacturing base has yet to be substantiated. The company, however, opened a technology centre in the Serbian capital Belgrade last December<\/a>. In the long term, 1,200 developers will push IT here.<\/p>\n Whether in Europe or the US, Rivian is under pressure to meet the expectations placed on the company and to continue scaling up. Last year, Rivian delivered 20,332 electric vehicles, but due to the costs of scaling up production, the loss increased to $6.75 bn. As a result, there were reports of further job cuts at the beginning of February.<\/p>\n Also today, however, Rivian reported<\/a> an increase in output as it produced 13,992 electric vehicles at its facility in Normal, Illinois, this Q2, 4,597 more than in Q1\/2023. Deliveries increased by 7,946 to 12,640 vehicles.<\/p>\n200 km de autonom\u00eda en condiciones adversas<\/h3>\n
