REE Automotive, an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, selected Roush Industries, a leading innovative vehicle contract manufacturer, to assemble REE’s P7 vehicles at Roush’s Detroit-area factory.

REE will continue to manufacture its proprietary REEcorner technology in its UK Coventry Integration Center.

Roush’s assembly team unites decades of design, engineering, machining, fabrication, testing, manufacturing, and supply chain expertise to deliver a scalable process for REE. Roush will be supported onsite by a joint REE and Motherson team, who will be responsible for overall quality assurance, logistics, and testing.

Roush, as US contract manufacture for the P7 lineup, will be responsible for the assembly of full vehicles according to REE’s requirements. REE’s software-defined electric trucks will be assembled at Roush’s Detroit based site specifically chosen for REE’s requirements and designed to have a yearly capacity of up to 5,000 trucks.

Motherson, a leading global automotive part supplier with whom REE signed a strategic agreement, will manage global supply chain and logistics targeting cost reduction, improved unit economics and higher margines.

REE’s P7 electric commercial trucks line-up is built on top of four REEcorners featuring REE’s x-by-wire technology. REEcorners pack critical vehicle components into the area between the chassis and the wheel, enabling a fully flat electric chassis end-to-end with up to 35% more interior volume for passengers, cargo and batteries.

Electric vehicles built on the P7 chassis have the industry’s lowest step-in height, are autonomous ready, and can be powered by either batteries or fuel cells. T

he P7 is established with a network of 78 service and sales locations through 24 authorized dealers across North America with potential access to more than 200 fleets in the US and Canada.
