While the UAW has rejected the offer and sent roughly 48,000 of its workers out on strike, the EV truck is widely expected to remain part of an eventual settlement.
Demonstrators hold signs reading "UAW On Strike" during a United Auto Workers strike outside the General Motors Co. Hamtramck assembly plant in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., on Monday Sept. 16, 2019.Rivian's R1T is sized somewhere between the midsize Chevrolet Colorado and full-size Chevy Silverado trucks. Its motors will make "close to 800 horsepower," the company has said.
"You have to expect its towing capacity would be more like the Silverado, in excess of 11,000 pounds," he added, while predicting Chevy's EV pickup would offer similar range to Rivian's R1T. Unlike the Silverado, with its ladder-frame chassis, the GM pickup will rely on a skateboard-like platform, its batteries, motors and other key drivetrain components below the load floor. That's an approach found in such products as the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3, and one essentially all future long-range electric vehicles will adopt.
"It's hard to imagine an electric pickup truck alone would fill that plant, at least initially," said Michelle Krebs, an analyst with Cox Automotive. But the challenge for GM, Krebs stressed, is figuring out what sort of demand it can anticipate.
