Arrival, a nascent electric vehicle manufacturer, teamed with UPS in 2018 to construct a new generation of electric delivery vans, starting with a prototype fleet of 35 cars for usage in both the US and Europe. From there, the business soon expanded its reach, with plans for an electric bus, an EV ridesharing car for Uber, and an $11.5 million battery facility. However, the business unexpectedly stated on Thursday that it has chosen to halt its bus and automotive initiatives in order to “refocus its efforts on the US market while further expanding its underlying technologies.”
