EV startup Arrival to supply UPS with at least 10,000 battery-powered vans

UK electric vehicle startup Arrival has inked a multi-hundred-million euro deal with American logistics giant UPS to supply it with at least 10,000 battery-powered delivery vans from now through 2024. The deal comprises 10,000 vehicles the UK, mainland Europe, and North America, with UPS retaining the option of purchasing a further 10,000 during this period. This project stems from Arrival and UPS's development deal announced in 2016, just one year into the former's existence.
