Rivian Pauses Its Electric Van Tie-Up With Mercedes



Rivian Automotive


has paused its joint venture to build commercial vans with


Mercedes-Benz Group


in Europe just three months after it was announced. The electric-vehicle maker, whose stock has collapsed this year, may be taking a second look at investments.

Rivian (ticker: RIVN) and Mercedes-Benz (MBG.Germany) agreed to a venture in September to jointly produce large electric vans for both the EV maker and German automotive giant. It represented a move to leverage shared investments and costs to scale up production. The deal has now been paused, the companies said Monday.
