SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 (Reuters) - Rivian (RIVN.O) has acquired Swedish EV route planning app maker Iternio to add its technology to its electric pickups and sport utility vehicles, as well use its data to better expand its own charging network, its CEO told Reuters on Wednesday. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe did not disclose the value of the deal but said it was closed in the first quarter. Scaringe said Rivian would invest in improving and growing ABRP as a stand-alone app for users of other EVs and integrate Iternio's technology into its mobile app and in-vehicle navigation system. Iternio was founded in 2018 and operates two lines of business: the ABRP app, which is the consumer-facing side, and a back end where it provides routing data services for other entities.
