Rivian said Tuesday it was laying off hundreds of workers, or less than 2% of its workforce, as the electric vehicle maker aims to narrow losses.

 

The layoffs affect some teams in the service and customer segments, according to a spokesperson. The company had 15,232 employees across North America and Europe at the end of last year.

 

“We recently restructured a handful of teams within Rivian as we work to profitably scale our business,” the company said in a statement.
