Rivian and Samsara partner to improve fleet management for electric fleets

Samsara and Rivian recently announced a collaboration designed to simplify the complexities of electric fleet management. With this new integration, Samsara customers can now access data on Rivian vehicles in their fleet on the Samsara Platform.

This collaboration addresses the needs of businesses managing diverse fleets, including the growing adoption of Rivian Commercial Vans. By integrating directly with Rivian’s platform, the partnership gives customers visibility into vehicle management data such as GPS location, odometer readings, and state of charge.

“Samsara is committed to providing our customers with a unified platform that simplifies their operations and empowers them to make data-driven decisions,” Tom McNeela, VP of hardware product management at Samsara, said. “We are excited to partner with Rivian to streamline access to their vehicle data, enabling our customers to more effectively manage their electric fleets and accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation.”

Key benefits of this integration include:

The integration provides a view of vehicle operations, including location, speed, mileage, state of charge, and seat belt usage. This data set is valuable for optimizing operations in sectors such as last-mile delivery and rentals, where efficiency and sustainability are key factors for measuring profitability. By consolidating Rivian vehicle data within the Samsara platform, it eliminates the need for fleet managers to navigate multiple systems, saving time and resources.

“Rivian is focused on providing our commercial customers with solutions that make it easier to manage their fleets,” Tom Solomon, VP of business development at Rivian, said. “Our collaboration with Samsara provides a streamlined approach to securely accessing vehicle data, empowering businesses to optimize their fleet operations, and improve overall efficiency.”
