REE: Israeli start-up launches autonomous E-skateboard

The Israeli start-up company REE Automotive has presented a commercial vehicle electric platform that is scalable in three sizes from 1.3 through 2.5 to 4.5 tons gross weight and is suitable for various applications from delivery vans to passenger shuttles. The E-chassis uses X-by-Wire technology for steering, suspension, handling, and braking to achieve a completely flat bed. The technology is housed in the wheel arches. All platforms are designed to be prepared for autonomous driving and can be connected to all ADAS systems, promises the provider.

The industrialization is to be supported by various collaborations, for example with the Indian Mahindra Group, with which a letter of intent was signed for the delivery of an initial capacity of 250,000 e-vehicles. Agreements also exist with Toyota/Hino, AAM, KYB, Musashi, NSK and Mitsubishi Corporation.

"There is a tremendous demand for electric vehicles, especially in delivery models that comply with global emission regulations while also catering to the e-commerce boom. Additionally, there is rapid growth in Mobility-as-a-Service offerings. Our modular platform is designed to revolutionize electromobility," says Daniel Barel, REE Co-Founder and CEO.
