(Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, today announced a major milestone in the REE’s plan to certify and bring to market a steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire and drive-by-wire commercial truck. REE contracted HORIBA-MIRA, a world-leader in testing, to perform internal tests, modeling certain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) certification requirements upon which REE has determined the feasibility of P7 to meet the requirements of certification. REE plans to fully certify its P7-C and P7-S products by the end of 2023, including FMVSS, CARB and EPA certification, aligning with planned vehicle deliveries to dealers and eligibility for government incentives. “FMVSS certification of our core by-wire system is feasible based on the tests we have conducted in the past several months,” said Ahishay Sardes, co-founder and CTO of REE. “This milestone is important as we set out to be the first to certify a fully by-wire system. Now that we have confirmed feasibility, the most novel step of this process is behind us, and we are confident that our P7 will pass the design-agnostic and performance-based FMVSS certification process”. Based on initial tests with HORIBA-MIRA, a professional third party and expert in testing, MIRA’s test engineers and drivers successfully executed REE’s feasibility test plan at MIRA’s advanced testing grounds in Coventry, UK. Peter Dow, VP of Engineering at REE said, “Our experienced certification and regulatory teams are ensuring Powered by REE vehicles exceed minimum standards and this testing has shown that it is possible for the full by-wire system to be certified. I am very proud of our strong software and engineering teams ...
