REE and lochpe-Maxion Come Together For Innovative Endeavors

By joining Maxion’s chassis and vast wheel design and advanced materials knowledge into the system integration process, REEs EV platform will weigh less and have more free space for alternate propulsion sources.

FREMONT, CA: The electric platform leader reinventing e-Mobility, REE Automotive (REE), and Iochpe-Maxion, a global leader in the production of automotive wheels and automotive structural components, announced a partnership to co-develop and manufacture an exclusive wheel design and chassis solution for REEs Electric Vehicle (EV) and corner modules platform.

The ground-breaking REEcorner integrates all powertrain, drivetrain, suspension, and steering gears into the wheel's arch, facilitating the REEboard, a fully flat and modular electric chassis. The REE platform offers customers full design freedom to produce the broadest range of EV and autonomous vehicles.

“Partnering with Maxion was the clear choice for us given its advanced technical capabilities and global presence,” said Tali Miller Levin, Vice President, Corporate Development, REE. “We are delighted to add Maxion to our exclusive production network of top Tier 1 partners, which fortifies the market leadership of REE by leveraging Maxions existing wheel and chassis capabilities for our REEboard production demands,” Levin adds.

By joining Maxion’s chassis and vast wheel design and advanced materials knowledge into the system integration process, REEs EV platform will weigh less and have more free space for alternate propulsion sources.

“Collaborating with REE showcases Maxions mission to connect our current business with OEMs and advanced mobility players such as REE,” said Dr. Saul Reichman, Head of Maxion Advanced Technologies and Global Director, Innovation and Corporate Venturing, Maxion Wheels. “Our work with REE to innovate a new type of wheel and chassis creates the opportunity to further diversify both our product portfolio and customer base. Since the inauguration last year of Maxion Advanced Technologies, an innovation initiative searching for adjacent and disruptive automotive-related new business opportunities, our team has been actively seeking innovative endeavors where we can apply our wheel and chassis expertise to new mobility EV applications,” says Reichman.
