Arrival

Arrival has disrupted the EV space by rethinking everything from the ground up - materials, components, and assembly have all been thoughtfully innovated to bring cheaper vehicles to market quicker. It's factories take only 6 months from site readiness to being operational, facilitating rapid deployment worldwide. In addition, its materials, software, and scalable electric platform can be adapted for multiple vehicle categories, enabling the company to produce vans, busses, and cars on demand.

Originally focussing on electric vans for the commercial vehicle market, the company has found success working with logistics companies - for instance, UPS ordered 20,000 Arrival vehicles to build out their zero emissions fleet. It has not escaped the pressures of the economic downturn - announcing mass lay-offs at the beginning of 2023 - but has responded succinctly with plans to cut operating costs by halve, and successfully raised investment towards progressing with development and partnerships as it focusses in on the key US market.
