Lincoln to partner Rivian for its first electric vehicle

The Lincoln Motor Company has announced that it is working together with electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian to develop an all new electric vehicle previously announced as part of Ford Motor Company's original investment in Rivian.

Lincoln's first fully electric vehicle will join the Aviator and Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid vehicles, solidifying Lincoln's commitment to electrification. The zero-emissions vehicle will feature connected and intuitive technologies designed to create an effortless experience for Lincoln's clients.

The Lincoln battery electric vehicle will be built off of Rivian's flexible skateboard platform and is part of Ford Motor Company's planned equity investment in Rivian. This all new vehicle also is part of Ford's previously announced investment of more than $15.7 billion into electrification, which includes the Mustang Mach-E and a fully electric version of the best-selling F-150 pickup.
