Volkswagen Group to make up to $5bn investment in Rivian for software help

Volkswagen and Rivian have announced a joint venture to develop software for next-generation vehicles.

The move consists of a lot of money for Volkswagen but makes sense for both brands. Rivian is currently under some financial pressure; the US-based electric car brand announced it would have to lay off 10 per cent of its salaried workforce in 2024, withFor Volkswagen, enlisting the help of an super switched-on start-up outsider like Rivian could help it out of its own CARIAD-shaped software hole.

RJ Scaringe, founder and CEO of Rivian said in the statement: ‘Since the earliest days of Rivian, we have been focused on developing highly differentiated technology, and it’s exciting that one of the world’s largest and most respected automotive companies has recognized this.’
