Vehicles designed for adventure
In the near future, the Georgia plant will manufacture new variants of the all-electric Rivian R2, a midsize SUV with room for five and all their gear, plus two smaller crossovers on the way: the R3, made to be more affordable, and the R3X, for those who want something a little wilder.
A plant made for the people
Thousands of Georgians will make and design vehicles here. All facilities are built to be open and welcoming to everyone making this new manufacturing center run.

Rivian’s East Coast headquarters is located directly on the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail. The office will employ up to 500 people once fully built out. The Atlanta office puts another part of Rivian’s Georgia workforce close to the plant.
