Rivian and HelloFresh have hit a major sustainability milestone, announcing that their partnership has helped eliminate over 200 tonnes of carbon emissions so far.
Since Rivian opened commercial van sales to the public, HelloFresh became the EV maker’s first major fleet customer, adding 70 all-electric Rivian vans to its delivery operations, specifically under the company’s Factor brand of ready-made meals.
These electric vans now make up nearly 25% of HelloFresh’s last-mile fleet. Since the rollout, they’ve logged over 250,000 miles, saving around 20,000 gallons of gasoline and cutting emissions equal to the carbon captured by 300 acres of U.S. forest.

This effort aligns with HelloFresh’s broader push toward eco-conscious logistics. The company optimizes routes from 14 strategically located transit hubs, reducing delivery times, food waste, and packaging weight by up to 10%.
The Rivian Commercial Van stands out for its safety and sustainability-first design, featuring advanced driver-assist tech, a proprietary software stack, and tools that streamline fleet management and lower ownership costs.
HelloFresh has partnered with Ryder to handle leasing, advisory, and maintenance services through the RyderElectric+ program, helping the meal kit company scale its EV usage efficiently.
Rivian’s VP of B2B Growth Tom Solomon praised HelloFresh’s efforts, highlighting the environmental impact of electrifying such a large-scale delivery network. Meanwhile, HelloFresh’s VP of U.S.
Logistics, Nunzio Di Savino, emphasized the company’s commitment to cleaner operations and fresher air in urban areas, where electric vans help mitigate emissions during frequent stop-and-go driving.
