REE Unveils Leopard, A Fully Autonomous Last-mile Delivery Concept Vehicle
REE unveils Leopard, a fully autonomous, eco-friendly Last-Mile delivery concept vehicle.
It is intended for last-mile autonomous and electric delivery companies, delivery fleet operators as well e-retailers.
Leopard is powered by a 50 kWh battery and its electric motor provides a top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h).
United States-based REE Automotive has revealed the Leopard, an autonomous concept vehicle based on a brand new ultra-modular EV platform design.
The full-scale concept is intended for customers, including last-mile autonomous and electric delivery companies, delivery fleet operators, e-retailers, and technology companies seeking to build fully autonomous solutions.
Developed with leading global delivery and technology companies focused on autonomous delivery and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) fleets, the Leopard concept vehicle measures 3.4 meters in length and just 1.4 meters in width.
It is built on a home-brewed platform that contains the batteries, along with REEcorner units, front-wheel-steer, rear-wheel-drive, steering, suspension, motor, gearbox, and braking components.
Leopard is powered by a 50 kWh battery of unspecified range and an undisclosed type of electric motor that provides a top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h).
It has a cargo capacity of 180 cubic feet (5 cubic meters) and a gross vehicle weight rating of 2 tonnes (2.2 tons). The vehicle is also designed to carry significantly more cargo due to REE’s low, flat floor.
REEcorner and EV platforms will be seamlessly integrated with any top hat and autonomous hardware with unmatched interior space for transporting passengers and cargo.
“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.
“Autonomous and electric vehicles ‘Powered by REE’ offer unsurpassed operational efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership combined with full flexibility when it comes to integrating top hats in virtually any size, shape, or form. We’re here to make the shift to a carbon-neutral future a reality faster and at scale.”
