Israel-based e-mobility company REE Automotive has revealed its latest autonomous concept vehicle dubbed Leopard. The new concept is based on an all-new ultra-modular EV platform design and is targeted towards other electric vehicle delivery companies, delivery fleet operators, e-retailers, and technology companies looking to build new autonomous solutions.
Other companies can use REE's newest technology to build autonomous and electric vehicle fleets based on their own custom specifications. The new concept vehicle features front-wheel-steering, rear-wheel drive, and a 2-tonne weight rating. In addition, it comes equipped with a new modular REEboardTM EV platform architecture, 50 kWh battery capacity, and a cargo volume of 180 cubic feet.
"This concept showcases just one design application of our ground-breaking technology, one that answers the strategically crucial question of how to carry out autonomous, zero-emissions last-mile deliveries, which has huge growth potential," said Daniel Barel, REE co-founder, and CEO
