REE

This humble-looking, street-certified electric truck represents a huge milestone in a radical effort to transform the automotive industry. It's the first vehicle ever certified with no mechanical connection between the controls and the chassis.

On the surface, this looks like an ordinary class 3 electric delivery van – one with a crazy-low floor, extra-large cargo space and gratuitous rear-wheel steering. But its entire drivetrain, suspension and steering systems live in the wheel arches.

Back in January, REE Automotive began testing a new EV chassis for trucks dubbed the P7. Now the company has teamed up with EAVX and Morgan Olson to begin live demos and customer evaluations of a new walk-in step van prototype based on the platform.

It doesn't look like much more than a flat-bed trailer, but REE's new P7 chassis contains all the working parts of an electric delivery truck, school bus, or whatever else you want to build on top of it – plus enough battery for 370 miles of range.

Although we hear a lot about the development of urban aerial delivery drones, it's quite likely that autonomous ground-based delivery vehicles will be in wide use first. REE Automotive's Leopard EV is one example, and it's just been unveiled as a physical concept vehicle.

REE's radically disruptive electric vehicle chassis is the flattest in the business, and offers remarkable platform flexibility thanks to its ingenious corner modules. Now the company is expanding into a new US$92 million facility in the UK.

Automotive industry disruptor REE has showcased its ridiculously flexible, super-flat EV chassis driving autonomously on the racetrack. This new class of ultra-modular, everything-by-wire vehicle can roll with any logo, cabin, spec and body shape.

REE's quiet plans for world automotive industry domination are coming along quite nicely, thank you, with Toyota choosing this Israeli company's extraordinary, modular any-vehicle chassis and powertrain for an entire range of electric Hino trucks.

A Tel Aviv-based company is making a push to revolutionize the architecture of future automobiles. REE has developed a massively modular platform that squeezes the entire motor, transmission, steering, suspension, brakes and more into the wheel bay, enabling a full range of vehicle types.
