REE UNVEILS NEXT GEN SOFTWARE-DRIVEN ELECTRIC COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PLATFORM

REE Automotive revealed the next generation of its P7-S stripped chassis at the ACT Expo in Las Vegas. The class 5 chassis was created in collaboration with a leading delivery fleet, designed to increase delivery efficiencies and improve fleet management. Customer delivery of the first next-gen P7-S demo will take place in June 2024.

P7-S utilizes the P7 REEcorners^®, making it a full by-wire chassis, and is part of the P7 program that allows for flexibility in dimensions and ultimate design freedom for fleets and body builders to develop their own purpose-built EVs such as step-vans, box trucks and vocational-specific electric vehicles. The P7-S is a full by-wire EV with both front and rear cabin configuration boosting fleet utilization and OEM compatibility.

By using the P7 REEcorners^®, the P7-S shares service and operational similarities with the P7-C which are designed to improve total cost of ownership (TCO) and spare-parts inventory management.

The current Powered by REE^® lineup offers three ways for OEM and fleet owners to upgrade existing EVs to full by-wire, software driven technology; by incorporating REEcorners^® into their vehicles, building an electric truck on the P7-S stripped chassis, or ordering a certified P7-C cab chassis. All options allow fleets and OEMs to reduce their time to market while still allowing for a made-to-order product rather than an off-the-shelf truck.

Due to the modularity and scalability enabled by REEcorners^®, P7-S can be customized to meet the customer need including class (4-5), driver position, batteries, wheelbase and rear overhang.
