Rivian's Production Guidance Cut Spurred By Miscommunication With Atlanta-Based Supplier, Resulting In Shortage Of Critical Copper Windings For Its Motor
Rivian did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) cut its annual EV production target reportedly due to a miscommunication earlier this year with Atlanta-based supplier Essex Furukawa.
Rivian Automotive（纳斯达克：RIVN）据报道由于今年早些时候与亚特兰大供应商爱实斯古川的误传而削减了其年度新能源车生产目标。
What Happened: Essex Furukawa supplies Rivian with copper windings used in the company's electric vehicle motors. Rivian miscalculated when communicating supply and demand needs with Essex earlier this year, according to a report from Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter. Essex subsequently committed to supporting other customers.
事件经过：爱实斯古川向Rivian提供铜绕组，用于该公司的新能源车电机。根据彭博社报道，Rivian在与爱实斯早些时候沟通供需需求时计算失误，据知情人士透露。爱实斯随后承诺支持其他客户。
Essex was Rivian's sole supplier for copper windings. Though Rivian has now identified other suppliers to provide it with replacements, the cost is high, the report said.
爱实斯是Rivian铜绕组的唯一供应商。尽管Rivian现已确定了其他供应商以提供替代品，但据报道称成本很高。
Rivian did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
Rivian没有立即回复Benzinga的评论请求。
Why It Matters: Rivian cut its annual production forecast last week by as much as 18% to between 47,000 and 49,000 electric vehicles, sending the stock on a downward spiral.
为什么重要：Rivian上周将其年度产量预测削减了多达18％，预计在47,000至49,000辆新能源车之间，导致股价走低。
The company cited production disruption owing to a component shortage for the revised guidance. The component, it said, is used in both the company's R1 vehicles and its commercial vans.
该公司称由于零部件短缺导致生产中断，因此修订了指导意见。据称，这个零部件用于该公司的R1车型和商用面包车。
"This supply shortage impact began in Q3 of this year, has become more acute in recent weeks and continues," the company said, without giving more details.
“这种供应短缺影响始于今年第三季度，在最近几周变得更加严重，持续存在，”该公司表示，但未透露更多细节。
