Arrival was a British electric vehicle manufacturer[5][6] headquartered in Howald, Luxembourg[4] that planned to build lightweight commercial vehicles.[7] Research and development took place at a facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire.[8]

Arrival raised $118 million from US funds manager BlackRock in October 2020, adding to previous investment from Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Co and sister company Kia Motors Corp of $111 million.[9] The company became listed on NASDAQ by merging with special-purpose acquisition company CIIG Merger Corp.[10]

In February 2024, after getting its stock delisted from the Nasdaq, Arrival's UK division entered administration, with future plans of a sale of Arrival and all of its affiliated assets.[11]
