(Reuters) -Electric-truck startup Rivian Automotive Inc could target a valuation of about $70 billion in its potential public listing later this year, Bloomberg news reported on Friday.

Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Ford Motor (NYSE:F) Co-backed Rivian had a valuation of $27.6 billion, Reuters reported in January, after a $2.65-billion investment round led by T. Rowe Price.

Rivian is working with advisers including Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) on an initial public offering, Bloomberg news reported https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-28/electric-truck-maker-rivian-is-said-to-select-ipo-underwriters, citing people familiar with the matter.

The news outlet in February reported the company could seek a valuation of about $50 billion.

Rivian, which aims to compete with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc, targets to start production of an electric-pickup and SUV this year.
