The joint venture, Rivian and VW Group Technology LLC will integrate advanced electrical infrastructure and Rivian's software technology for both companies' future electric vehicles.

Volkswagen plans to invest $5.8 billion by 2027, including $1 billion in convertible notes, $1.3 billion for intellectual property licenses and equity stake, and up to $3.5 billion in future equity, notes, and debt tied to specific milestones.
