Ree P7-C is the world's 1st 'everything-by-wire' vehicle

The company also offers over-the-air software updates, making it future-proof as well.

Ree P7-C is an electric commercial delivery truck which is said to be the world's first "everything-by-wire' vehicle. The truck comes with steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire & drive-by-wire, severing all traditional mechanical linkages in the process.

The electric truck comes with the REEcorner tech - a consolidation of all essential vehicle components (steering, braking, powertrain, suspension & control) into a single compact module. The truck comes with 4 such modules, each of them positioned between the chassis and the wheel. Each of the 4 modules is controlled by its ECU, further connected to a central REECentre ECU to manage all corner-level functions.

The company, Ree, states that the 'x-by-wire' as they call it, offers the truck advanced manoeuvrability, improved interior space & ergonomics, better serviceability with streamlined maintenance and a modular design. The company also offers over-the-air software updates, making it future-proof as well.

Daniel Barel, CEO, Ree Automotive, stated, "I believe our REEcorner is a true game changer, allowing us to build electric trucks that fleets will want to buy, and drivers will love to drive as we continue to see a strong demand for our work trucks." He added, "I am incredibly proud of the team at Ree for completing certification of the automotive industry’s first-ever fully x-by-wire vehicle."

The Ree P7-C delivery truck even received its approvals for use on American roads. Richard Colley, VP of Government & Regulatory Affairs, Ree Automotive, stated, "Achieving this certification milestone is a testament to REE’s dedicated team and our determination to bring this technology to market safely." He further mentioned, "The federal and state incentives that the P7-C will be eligible for will help accelerate fleet electrification in the US, helping to improve public health and meet ambitious climate goals."
