The Lincoln Motor Company announced today that it is working
together with 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, further solidifying
Lincoln’s commitment to electrification. The zero-emissions vehicle
will feature connected and intuitive technologies designed to
create an effortless experience for Lincoln clients.
“Working with Rivian marks a pivotal point for Lincoln as we
move toward a future that includes fully electric vehicles,” said
Joy Falotico, president, The Lincoln Motor Company. “This vehicle
will take Quiet Flight to a new place – zero emissions, effortless
performance and connected and intuitive technology. It’s going to
be stunning.”
Lincoln has introduced four new SUVs including Corsair, Aviator
and Navigator in the past three years. The all-new lineup has
helped Lincoln’s global SUV sales grow 7 percent year-over-year and
enabled the luxury automaker to deliver its best U.S. SUV sales in
16 years.
As Lincoln adds a new luxury electric vehicle to its lineup,
production of the MKZ sedan will end this year in order for the
Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico to prepare for production of
new Ford vehicles.
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
$11.5 billion into electrification, which includes the Mustang
Mach-E and a fully electric version of the best-selling F-150
pickup.
“Our vehicle development partnership with Ford is an exciting
opportunity to pair our technology with Lincoln’s vision for
innovation and refinement. We are proud to collaborate on Lincoln’s
first fully electric vehicle,” said Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe.
