The Arrival Gamma van appears to be in good working order. It has sliding electric doors and a touchscreen interface on the dashboard. The shelving is still intact and the owner suggests it could be used as a 'campervan.' The highest bid as of Friday is £5,600 or approximately $7,368.
Arrival aimed to do for delivery vehicles what the Tesla Model S did for automobiles. The company was founded in 2015 and built 25 vans in 2021 for testing. Arrival committed to building a fleet of 10,000 vehicles for UPS to deliver packages across the US and Europe.
Arrival's attempt to make delivery vehicles more energy efficient was a noble idea and it wasn't the only company to do so. Amazon tapped electric van maker to build 100,000 vehicles for its delivery fleet by 2030.
Within a couple of years, Arrival's warehouse became an empty shell and its sleek electric vehicles and remaining parts were sold off to whoever could afford the highest bid.
