REE Automotive, an Israel-based EV technology company, has announced the launch of a class 3 delivery truck called P7-B.
Targeted at the growing delivery vehicle market, the all-wheel drive truck can carry up to 4,400 lbs (2,000 kg) payload with a 150-mile (241 km) driving range.
“Our modular P7 chassis allows us to design vehicles tailored to our customers’ needs and we are excited to be showing them what our unique technology affords their fleets as we support them on their path towards electrification and carbon neutrality,” said Tali Miller, chief business officer at REE.
The company claims that evaluations, to date, by prospective customers including global delivery, logistics, and e-commerce companies have been positive and encouraging
“The on-track testing of the P7-B and extensive customer evaluations are another crucial step on the road to commercialization and deployment of test fleets followed by scale adaptation in fleets,” Miller said. “Feedback from our customers has been that this is the truck they have been waiting for – a driver-centric work truck that drives like a saloon car but is built to deliver under the harshest commercial duty cycle.”
With a maximum speed of 75 mph (120 km/h), the P7 delivery truck offers increased interior space for passengers and cargo and a low step-in height. The configuration can be modified to best suit customer needs. The full x-by-wire architecture supports all-wheel steer, all-wheel drive, adaptive regenerative breaking, creep control, hill start assist, and torque vectoring as standard as well as over-the-air updates.
REE’s P7-B and the P7 modular chassis are targeted to be produced in both North America and the UK.
