Volkswagen, the German automaker, said on Tuesday that it would invest up to $5 billion in Rivian, a maker of electric trucks that has struggled to turn a profit, and that the companies would cooperate on software for electric vehicles. Volkswagen said it would initially invest $1 billion in a new joint venture, and over time increase that to as much as $5 billion. The deal provides cash to Rivian, which has struggled to ramp up manufacturing of its electric pickups and sport utility vehicles.

Vehicles using the new software will go on sale during the second half of the decade, Volkswagen said.
