Daniel Barel, CEO and co-founder of REE Automotive, said, “We are currently working on additional P7-C configurations to maximize utilization within Penske’s large product offering,”

REE collaborated with Wabash National Corp (NYSE:WNC) to upfit the P7-C with a custom DuraPlate truck body utilizing the unique low floor, all-wheel steer, all-wheel drive full-by-wire P7-C characteristics.

Wabash’s DuraPlate technology’s lightweight properties enhance the feasibility of electric chassis for fleets while maintaining durability.

Vehicles Powered by REE are upfit-ready and designed to offer considerable benefits for body installations, including:

  • No Drill: Integrated mounting weld nuts so that bodies can be secured directly to frame rails

  • Battery Maintenance: Accessible from under the chassis

  • Flat Floor with integrated ramp: Structural advantages and weight savings by reducing the need for additional body mounting kits, and independent suspension to reduce body stresses. The ramp takes advantage of the low-floor box configuration.

  • Electrical Integration: Plug-and-play chassis harnesses for aftermarket electrical and ADAS systems

  • Driver Assistance Systems: Seamless integration of third-party systems; camera images can be viewed directly on the infotainment screen.

Price Action: REE shares closed higher by 4.26% at $4.65 on Tuesday.
