The first truck will debut at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas. The Scoop Trucks feature a 161-mile range and a 100 kWh battery pack. This collaboration aims to reduce fossil fuel reliance while promoting sustainability. Rivian is also involved in SXSW with an "Electric Roadhouse" exhibit, showcasing its electric vehicles and future plans. Rivian has officially teamed up with the ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s to launch an electrified ice cream truck, weeks after the electric vehicle (EV) maker launched its van to more commercial customers. As detailed in a press release on Tuesday, Rivian and Ben & Jerry’s have unveiled two “Scoop Trucks,” a pair of electric ice cream trucks based on the Rivian Commercial Van (RCV). Rivian officially launched the RCV to commercial customers beyond its early partner Amazon last month, and the Scoop Truck is one of the first we’ve seen of its modular use cases in the weeks since. The companies plan to debut the first of the electric ice cream trucks at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas, which starts on Friday. After the festival, both of the Scoop Trucks will be hitting the road across the U.S., along with joining a series of pop-up events in Vermont, where Ben & Jerry’s is headquartered.

It’s one of those projects that just makes the team smile,” said Brian Gase, Rivian’s Senior Director of Prototype Development. “We can’t wait for people to stop by for some ice cream and see it in action for the first time during SXSW!” The Scoop Trucks appear to be the Rivian RCV 500, offering a 161-mile range, and an overall length of 248.5 inches. The electric van also includes a 100 kWh LFP battery pack, and Rivian says it can charge at speeds of up to 100 kW. “Working with Rivian, an industry leader that is committed to sustainability is an ice cream dream come true,” notes Sean Slattery, Ben & Jerry’s U.S. Integrated Marketing project lead. “Today, Rivian helped Ben & Jerry’s reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in a small way, while making things a little bit cooler… which, as an ice cream company, is extremely difficult to do.” A photo of one of the Rivian Scoop Trucks was also spotted and photographed being hauled in Irvine, California, as was shared on Reddit last week. As one viewer points out, the RCVs include an extra air conditioning unit on top of the van, in order to help keep necessary refrigeration running.

Rivian is also set to be an official sponsor for the music festival’s Transportation Track event. The Scoop Truck is likely to play a role in the upcoming Rivian event, though the companies have yet to disclose where exactly it can be seen this weekend. In December, Rivian announced that it has deployed 20,000 of the Electric Delivery Vans (EDVs), which are the Amazon-exclusive launch version of the RCVs. Produced alongside the R1T and R1S at the company’s factory in Normal, Illinois, the vans come in two configurations, the RCV 500 and the longer RCV 700, which are both currently being offered for fleet sales. Rivian is also aiming to build a factory in Georgia with help from a $6.6 billion loan from the Department of Energy (DOE), though these plans are up in the air under the Trump administration’s recent freeze on federal grants and loans. CEO RJ Scaringe in January said that the automaker has already signed a “legally binding agreement” with the DOE, featuring a broad range of conditions that Rivian must meet along the way. > Rivian tech attracts other OEMs after VW joint venture The post Rivian teams up with Ben & Jerry’s on an electric ice cream truck appeared first on TESLARATI. ### Related Stocks - [RIVN.US - Rivian Automotive](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RIVN.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Rivian Automotive 股價上漲，分析師指出其具有長期上漲潛力 | Rivian Automotive 上漲，因為分析師指出長期上漲潛力 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275919831.md) | | Rivian｜8-K：2025 財年營收 53.87 億美元超過預期 | | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275807122.md) | | 較早款的 Rivian R1T 和 R1S 電動車正在獲得某種程度的數字鑰匙支持 | Rivian 正在為第一代 R1T 和 R1S 電動車推出一種解決方案，允許車主使用 Apple Watch 應用程序控制他們的車輛，而無需物理鑰匙。新的 Rivian 應用程序版本 3.9 將啓用鎖定、解鎖和駕駛汽車等功能，但需要在手錶上 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275429316.md) | | 期權熱點｜上周五 RIVN 大漲 7%，部分看漲期權飆升 188% | 美東時間 2026-02-06，Rivian Automotive 期權總成交 155118 張，看漲期權佔比 72%，看跌期權佔比 27%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275263912.md) | | 摩根士丹利繼續維持對 Rivian Automotive（RIVN）的賣出評級 | 摩根士丹利分析師 Andrew Percoco 對 Rivian Automotive (RIVN) 維持了賣出評級，目標價為 12.00 美元。Percoco 被認為是一位五星級分析師，平均回報率為 68.0%，成功率為 55.32%。瑞 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275935015.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
