FIRST IN LAST-MILE DELIVERY
REE is joining forces with industry leaders to launch the first drive-by-wire fully electric walk-in step van. This is a prototype for a class 5 electric commercial truck that features an EAVX and Morgan Olson body design and is powered by REE’s modular P7 platform.
The walk-in step van body is a new, ground up development and will be showcased for the first time on REE’s fully-flat and low P7 platform, which was unveiled in January 2022. The electric platform is intended to power class 3-5 vehicles with payloads up to 8,000 pounds, along with all-wheel steering and all-wheel drive.
The modular REEcorners™, x-by-wire technology, and fully-flat chassis enable unique benefits, operational efficiencies, and flexibility for fleet owners.
With the P7 platform at its core, the electric walk-in van prototype is able to achieve industry-leading maneuverability, visibility, low step-in height, greater volumetric efficiencies, improved aerodynamics, and improved serviceability.
ENHANCED MANEUVERABILITY
Minimal turning radiuses enabled by all-wheel steer allows for optimal maneuverability in urban environments and loading docks.
LOW STEP-IN HEIGHT
The low load floor reduces step-in height by 12 inches or one full step, improving ergonomics and reducing operator delivery times.
- Promotes driver wellbeing
- Improves driver productivity
- Improves fleet operational efficiency
IMPROVED DRIVER VISIBILITY
REEcorners™ & x-by-wire control enable a fully flat chassis with a lower driver position to further enhance visibility.
EASE OF SERVICE
50/50 weight distribution allow GVW to be distributed across all four REEcorners™ enabling single rear tires. Fast REEcorner™ swaps, smart monitoring and over-the-air service updates significantly reduce repair times and TCO.
IMPROVED AERODYNAMICS
Designed for optimal aerodynamics, delivering a 56% reduction in drag for maximum efficiency without compromising functionality. The low, fully flat P7 platform is free from any mechanical obstructions, reducing underfloor turbulence.
POWERED BY REE'S P7 PLATFORM
The P7 EV platform provides design freedom, enabling companies such as OEMs, delivery and logistics fleets, and mobility-as-a-service fleets to develop vehicle bodies that meet their exact requirements and commercial needs.
