The engine
Quad-Motor Electric
Quad-Motor Electric
Rivian's quad-motor setup gives each wheel its own electric motor, enabling brutal acceleration, true tank-turn-adjacent control, and astonishing off-road wheel articulation and traction.
Built by the EV startup that beat the legacy makers to market with an electric adventure truck, the quad-motor system is engineered for both supercar pace and serious trail capability.
With a motor at each wheel, the truck can apply or cut power to one tire at a time for incredible off-road control.
Rivian's R1T was the first electric pickup to reach customers.
