Samsara Integration Brings Rivian Vehicle Data to Fleet Managers

Rivian just announced a new partnership with a company called Samsara, and while the name might not ring a bell for many in the Rivian community, this could be a pretty big deal—especially for businesses managing electric fleets.

So who is Samsara? They’re a tech company based in San Francisco that specializes in fleet and operations management. Their platform helps businesses track and manage everything from trucks and vans to heavy machinery, using real-time data like GPS, fuel levels, engine diagnostics, and more. They call it their Connected Operations® Platform, and it’s used by thousands of businesses—from delivery companies to city services—to keep tabs on their vehicles and streamline operations. In short: Samsara helps keep complex fleets running smoothly.

Now, through this new integration, Samsara customers can plug Rivian vehicles—like the growing number of Rivian Commercial Vans—directly into their dashboard. That means a fleet manager can see Rivian vehicle data like GPS location, mileage, battery state of charge, and even seatbelt usage without having to jump between platforms. It all shows up in Samsara’s single, unified view.

This is especially helpful for companies running mixed fleets (gas and electric, or multiple EV brands). Instead of having to manage Rivians separately, they now get full visibility and control in one place. It’s a win for operations, efficiency, and ultimately, sustainability.

Some key features of the integration:

• Real-time location and vehicle condition
• Odometer and battery charge info
• Immediate activation and secure data access
• Works with small or large fleets

For Rivian, this is another smart move to make their commercial vehicles more appealing to businesses that want EVs without the operational headaches. And for Samsara, it helps them stay ahead as more companies switch to electric.

The integration is live now for U.S. customers. If you’re managing a fleet and using Samsara, you can activate Rivian support right from their app marketplace.

We’ll be watching closely to see how this shapes up—especially as more Rivian vans hit the road.
